The same rules for every institution in Serbia; Institute for Recent History of Serbia's own programme pages govern the exact dates and scores. Guide checked 25 Sep 2026.
Deadlines and intakes
Faculties set their own deadlines and any entrance exams, and we found no single national deadline. Check the faculty's calendar, and if you need a visa, apply as soon as you have your invitation letter.
Language you need
Most degrees at state universities are taught in Serbian, with a growing number in English, especially in engineering, medicine and business. The Study in Serbia initiative, run by the Foundation Tempus, lists programmes. Learning Serbian is itself a valid reason for temporary residence, and several universities run language courses.
