Serbia 2016/17 - values of student fees

National student fee

Students in public higher education institutions can be 'budget-financed' and 'self-financing'. Only full-time student status exists. 'Budget-financed' students (42.96 % in 2016) are selected at entry based on entrance exam score and secondary school results, and during the course based on their study performance. Their tuition fees are covered by the state, while students pay administrative and other costs (entrance and application fees, fees for issuing diploma and diploma supplement, etc.) ranging from RSD 4 000 to 30 000 per year.

'Self-financed' students pay both administrative and tuition fees, which range from RSD 30 000 to 248 500 per year on Bachelor level and RSD 40 000 to 785 492 on Master level, including both academic and applied studies.

There is no short cycle programme in higher education in Serbia.

Foreign students usually pay higher tuition fees. The most common annual fee is EUR 2 000.
