How are medical courses structured

Medicine

The 6-year medicine programme is taught entirely in English. The first 2 years of the programme are primarily focused on the fundamentals of clinical practice and theory, whereas the following 4 years emphasise clinical study and advanced modules.

The last year comprises a one-year medical internship, and you must also pass all state licensure tests. Graduates may opt to specialise in Serbia, but their degree and licence entitle them to work in any country.

Dentistry

The dentistry course is structured similarly to the medical course, except that it lasts five years rather than six (10 semesters). The first two years are entirely devoted to theoretical education. Students will get the opportunity to work with real patients throughout the next three years.

01

Years 1-3
In the first part of the programme, students learn basic information about Human Biology and Medicine. This gives them a foundation for their clinical training.

02

Years 3-5
The goal of clinical training is to teach young doctors how to diagnose and treat patients. Students cover various modules.

03

Year 6
Students get practice before they graduate by rotating through the different departments of the university hospital. Students use what they know and can do at the bedside of patients and in outpatient clinics.

04

State Exams and Graduation
The test has five parts: one for Internal Medicine, one for Surgery, one for Pediatrics, one for Obstetrics and Gynecology, and one for Hygiene and Ecology. Graduates who pass get the "Master" degree and the title "Physician."

I came to this university with one mission, and it was to study. Well, I am in my 3rd year now, and I can say that my teachers are such professionals, and help me build more and more knowledge around my veterinary field. I love being around animals and helping them get through their difficulties.
Ellis Brown
Belgrade University is one of the most prestigious schools in Serbia. Behind the building of the university, we have a huge park where we hang out with my friends after our classes and have fun. The teachers are extremely intelligent.
