Montenegro 2016/17 - values of student fees

National student fee

There are two basic types of financial status for students: state subsidised and self-financed. The government annually decides about the number of students whose tuition fees it will pay (in specific study fields and the capacities of institutions). To receive state-financing students need to meet certain performance criteria. State- financed students who fail to meet the criteria may continue their studies as self-financing students.

Self-financing students in the first cycle at the University of Montenegro (the only public university) pay between EUR 500 and EUR 1 000 per year, depending on the study profile. The most common fee level is EUR 500. Self- financing students who pass all exams may become budget-funded students if there are places available on their study programme. Those students are chosen on the basis of the ECTS gained and academic performance during their studies.

Fees at the second cycle are between EUR 1 500-2 000 per year.

There is no short cycle programme at higher education institutions in Montenegro.

International students are charged the same fees as Montenegrin students.
