Modern Education
Since 2001, universities in Serbia have produced 14,370 graduates, 1,006 Masters of Science, and 383 PhDs annually. Out of the total number of graduates, technical universities account for approximately 1/3. Leading institutions in this field, e.g. School of Electrical Engineering or School of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade, are recognized internationally for their expertise. High-quality technical education is largely based on elementary and high schools offering more advanced curriculum in technical sciences than is the case in most other countries. For example, students from Belgrade’s Mathematical Gymnasium alone have won more than 100 prizes at World Science Olympiads.
Management education in Serbia is provided through joint graduate and post-graduate courses organized by local universities and renowned western business schools. The School of Economics in Belgrade offers a one-year masters program together with the leading French business school –HEC Group. Two-year MBA programs are now available at the City College, affiliated institution of the University of Sheffield, and the English School of Business offering a licensed program of its international partner Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh Business School.
In addition, there is an increasing number of international elementary and high schools in Serbia. At the moment, they offer curricula in English, German and French. Programs are mostly based on US or UK curricula including internationally recognized examinations.
