For enrollment in the first year of undergraduate studies for the academic year 2025/2026 at the University of Montenegro (UCG), 3.311 places have been proposed on the budget.
"The proposal is currently being sent to the Government and we expect that this week they will adopt it, give a proposal for the enrollment of freshmen and based on that we will proceed with the competition which will most likely be at the end of June, and for the enrollment itself, as in previous years, candidates can also find out more on the website of the University of Montenegro, and the submission of applications is provided via electronic access, by entering their registration number, so that all our high school graduates who have completed all four grades in Montenegro, in one of the educational institutions of a secondary school character, general education gymnasium or secondary vocational school, by entering their registration number, as I pointed out, data is withdrawn from the database of the Ministry of Education, from the register of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and based on that, a ranking is made. Based on the ranking list made and adopted by the council, candidates can access the enrollment itself by going to the student service of the desired, or applied faculty and where they purchase and bring the index and photographs and complete that enrollment. And the final step in all of this is signing the contract which is also provided electronically "on the way with new ID cards," said Veselin Mićanović, Vice-Rector for Education at the University of Montenegro, in "Colors of Morning" on TV Vijesti.
They expect that the majority of places will be filled in the first enrollment period.
"This year we have 67 study programs on offer with a total of approximately 3.300 places, so our high school students have a truly wide range of offers and enrollment opportunities, and we expect that the largest number of places will be filled in the first enrollment period. This year, in this enrollment period, we definitely have a chemistry study program, and the University of Montenegro is working on a study that has not yet been completed for the accreditation of the study program for special education, rehabilitation, as well as the study program for mathematics teachers for primary schools. But the accreditation process will probably not be completed in this period, so we will or it is realistic to expect that in the next academic year we will also have these new study programs on offer," says Mićanović.
The University of Montenegro expects that a new law on higher education will be passed in the near future.
When asked what he expects from the new law, Mićanović says:
"The new law on higher education will solve numerous problems that exist in this sector, in this area, and we expect that we will first of all solve the issue of graduation rates and harmonization of our studies with the labor market, so that a new study model will emerge that will give our students the opportunity to complete their studies after the fourth year, i.e., according to the 3 plus 2, or 3 plus 1 plus 1 model, and in this way, students who do not want to pursue science and complete master's studies after the fourth year will be able to enter the labor market and thus find their place."
