More than 170 programmes taught in English at every level, with fees for foreign students – EU citizens included – of around €2,500 a year on average, according to Study in Serbia. The University of Belgrade has 31 faculties and around 90,000 students, and a student canteen meal costs €1–2.60. Read on to see how to apply to a faculty, what a month costs in Belgrade or Novi Sad and which permits you need to work.
For bachelor's programmes every applicant takes an entrance exam, international applicants included. Its format depends on the programme – ask your chosen faculty.
Exams take place in summer: the first round is in June or early July, the second in early September, but only if places are still available. Applicants for master's and doctoral programmes take exams in September or October, if the faculty requires them.
