University of Novi Sad

The University of Novi Sad Faculty of Medicine holds a distinction often overlooked: it launched its English-taught medicine programme in 1993 — making it the longest-running English medical programme in Serbia, predating Belgrade's English track. It is a public state university, Serbia's second-largest (40,000+ students), and offers all three health science degrees in English: Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy. Tuition is €7,000/year for all three programmes — slightly lower than Belgrade (€8,000/yr). The cohort is intentionally very small: ~20 students per programme per year — creating a genuinely tutorial-style learning environment. Key May 2025 development: Serbia's NEAQA accreditation body was granted WFME Recognition Status for 10 years — directly enabling graduates to apply for
