Bachelor's Degrees in English in Serbia: Programmes, Cities and Fees

Fee figures: catalogue of 6 October 2026.

Serbian is the main language of instruction, but English-taught bachelor's programmes exist and are growing, mainly in engineering, computing, business and medicine. Our catalogue lists 67 programmes taught in English out of 837 bachelor's and integrated programmes in the country.

What the law and the government say

The Law on Higher Education says institutions deliver studies in Serbian, and that programmes in a foreign language are allowed once they are accredited. Study in Serbia, the information portal of the Ministry of Education and the Tempus Foundation, says there are over 180 English-taught programmes across all study levels. It adds that many master's and doctoral programmes are taught in English. At bachelor's level the choice is narrower, which is why the catalogue number is smaller.

Our catalogue counts a programme as English-taught only when the university confirms it. Where a faculty teaches the same programme in Serbian and in English, it is shown with both languages.

Where the programmes are

Novi Sad. The University of Novi Sad has the largest group in our catalogue. Most are at the Faculty of Technical Sciences, in fields such as software engineering, computing and automation, civil and mechanical engineering, architecture and environmental engineering, along with medicine and dentistry in English at the Medical Faculty.
Belgrade. Medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and veterinary medicine in English at the University of Belgrade, plus mechanical engineering and the Faculty of Organizational Sciences. Private Singidunum University offers IT, software, artificial intelligence, business and tourism in English.
Niš. Electronic engineering, economics, English studies, medicine, dentistry and nursing.
Kragujevac. Medicine and pharmacy, engineering, economics and sport programmes.

Some faculties do it differently. The Faculty of Economics in Belgrade, for example, runs its first year in Serbian; after the first year students can apply to its English-taught programmes in economics and finance and in business and management.

What they cost

English-taught programmes are priced separately from Serbian-taught ones. Our catalogue shows a typical fee of about €3,300 a year, from €2,000 to €8,000. EU and non-EU applicants pay the same, because the faculties publish one price for foreign students. Medicine and dentistry are at the top of the range. See how much it costs to study in Serbia.

Fees and exam rules differ for every faculty, so confirm them in the faculty's current call.

Medicine and dentistry in English

The state medical faculties in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš and Kragujevac list medicine in English in our catalogue, and Novi Sad and Niš list dentistry too. Each runs its own entrance procedure and its own calendar. For the wider picture, see studying medicine in English in Europe.

How admission works

The general rules still apply: a completed four-year secondary school, recognition of your diploma by the ENIC/NARIC Centre, and each faculty's entrance exam and ranking. Study in Serbia lists the steps in order. It adds that some faculties need extra subject knowledge. For a programme in English, ask the faculty whether the exam is held in English, what language evidence it asks for, and when it holds its first round. For language certificates see IELTS and TOEFL for European universities.

Students on English-taught programmes still live in Serbia, so the visa, residence and registration rules are the same. Learning basic Serbian helps with daily life, and Study in Serbia lists Serbian language courses.
