Seats are offered across two rounds each cycle (107 in the first round, 78 in the second round for 2026/27), reflecting typical partial-fill patterns rather than a shortfall in demand. Kragujevac is a major city in central Serbia. The Faculty is associated with the University Clinical Centre of Kragujevac, a major regional hospital, and has more recently added the Dedinje Cardiovascular Institute in Belgrade as an additional teaching base (2022). The six-year, 360-ECTS Integrated Academic Studies of Medicine programme (45 mandatory plus 38 elective courses, of which students choose 12) is taught entirely in English. Graduate competencies explicitly require clinical experience in a hospital-based healthcare setting under appropriate supervision. Clinical teaching is associated with the University Clinical Centre of Kragujevac, and the Faculty added the Dedinje Cardiovascular Institute in Belgrade as a further teaching base in 2022. A detailed year-by-year breakdown of which clinical years are spent at which named hospital department was not published at a level of confidence to state here. Graduates receive the Doctor of Medicine (MD) qualification. ## Hostel, food and safety University dormitories exist in Kragujevac, but demand regularly exceeds capacity and admission is not centrally guaranteed; in practice, international students use private rental accommodation, typically averaging EUR 150-200 per month for a single-room apartment excluding utilities. The university's International Relations Office (erasmus@kg.ac.rs) helps international students find and vet private landlords. No specific on-campus meal plan or dining-cost figure is published for international Medicine students. Food costs should be planned as part of an independent living-cost budget alongside private accommodation. No university-published campus-safety statistics were found. International applicants can direct queries to the Faculty of Medical Sciences admissions office or the university's International Relations Office for day-to-day support. The University of Kragujevac's International Relations Office (erasmus@kg.ac.rs) supports incoming international students, including a Buddy Network for settling in and assistance finding private accommodation. Faculty-level admissions queries go through the Faculty of Medical Sciences directly (phias@fmn.kg.ac.rs). ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the Medicine programme direct-entry after high school? Yes. It is an Integrated Academic Studies of Medicine programme -- admission follows directly from a 4-year grammar school, or a medical/health or veterinary vocational secondary school, with no separate bachelor's stage required first. ### What qualification is awarded on graduation? Graduates receive the academic title Doctor of Medicine (MD). ### How long is the programme and how is it structured? Six years (12 semesters, 360 ECTS credits), with 45 mandatory and 38 elective courses (12 electives chosen by the student), taught entirely in English. ### What is the current tuition fee? EUR 6,000 per year for foreign citizens for the 2026/27 cohort, per the Faculty's official admissions and fee decision document; a first installment of EUR 3,000 is due at enrollment. ### Are there additional fees besides tuition? Yes -- a EUR 100 entrance-exam fee for foreign candidates. No refund policy is published in the official fee document. ### What entrance exam does the university require? A Biology test (20 questions), a Chemistry test (20 questions) and an interview (up to 20 points), combined with twice the average high-school grade (up to 40 points) for a maximum of 100 points; a minimum of 30 points is required to enroll. Students who placed top-3 nationally in a biology or chemistry olympiad are exempted from the relevant test. ### When does the academic year start?
