The University of Montenegro was founded in 1974 and is the oldest institution of higher education in Montenegro. It has 19 faculties and three institutes, an academic community of about 17,000 active students at all levels of study, and more than 1,000 academic, professional and other staff. Since 2004, classes at the University of Montenegro have been organised by the principles of the Bologna Declaration. Today, the University of Montenegro is an intellectual development of Montenegro - the centre of scientific research, cultural, artistic and innovative creativity. It is the oldest and, at the same time, the only state university in Montenegro. It is the most comprehensive higher education institution that provides education in social sciences, humanities, and technological, natural and medical sciences. Classes are organised by the curricula of reputable universities in the European Higher Education Area, which, along with numerous agreements and programs, enables unhindered mobility for students, teachers and administrative staff. The studies are realised in three cycles, undergraduate, master and doctoral. The model according to which they are realised is 3 + 2 + 3, which means that basic studies last for three academic years, except regulated professions and teacher education, which lasts for five or six years. Postgraduate master studies last two, doctoral three academic years.
The University of Montenegro is also a leading scientific research institution in the country, strengthening its position through international cooperation and project activities to support scientific research capacities.
