Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research was to examine and determine opinion of doctoral students of the University of Belgrade regarding the possibility to introduce transferable skills into the curriculum of doctoral studies at the University. Transferable skills are those skills and knowledges that could be useful in various job related situations and professional environments. These skills, often called soft skills, are not directly linked to the specific research field one performs within. Some of them are communication skills, leadership, organizational skills, presentation skills, networking& teamwork, etc. These are obviously universal knowledges and skills easy to transfer from one environment to another equally useful in various professional positions. European reports show that the number of the universities with transferable skills in curricula of doctoral studies has increased for 50% in the past ten years. Our research has shown necessity for the inclusion of the transferable skills into curricula of doctoral studies at the University of Belgrade.
