What are your chances?

The University of Arts in Belgrade is a public, specialized arts university organized around four faculties: Music, Fine Arts, Applied Arts and Dramatic Arts. Established in 1957 as the Academy of Arts and renamed in 1973, it provides undergraduate, master’s and doctoral education in artistic practice, arts scholarship and interdisciplinary fields. Most full-degree programs are taught in Serbian, although the university offers an English-taught master’s in Cultural Policy and Management and makes selected courses available to exchange students. Teaching is distributed among faculty locations rather than a single residential campus. Applicants should therefore compare programs, entrance requirements, tuition and facilities at the relevant faculty rather than treating the university as one uniform admissions unit.

Student Life & Environment

Student experience is spread across faculty buildings and cultural locations rather than concentrated on a self-contained campus. That arrangement can place students close to studios, performance spaces and Belgrade’s wider artistic community, but it also means that daily routines, facilities and peer groups vary by faculty and program. Prospective students should ask their intended faculty about building access, rehearsal or studio schedules, libraries, equipment and student organizations. The university has a Students’ Parliament, scholarship and competition information, and formal student-support services. For incoming international mobility students, the university and ESN BelUPgrade operate buddy support. Student volunteers can help newcomers navigate faculty locations, classrooms, libraries and practical settling-in tasks. Exchange students are also assigned academic mentoring according to their courses, giving them a faculty contact for academic integration. The international support page describes assistance for students with fewer opportunities, including students with disabilities, minority backgrounds, financial disadvantage and foreign citizenship. Available help includes orientation, information services, support with status questions and communication with teaching staff about individual needs. Students should contact the university before arrival to determine what adjustments can be arranged in their particular faculty. Housing requires advance planning. The university states that it has no campus or university-owned student accommodation. Its international offices may help exchange students seek a place in a student residence or locate private housing, but accommodation is not guaranteed or directly provided by the university.

Location & Surroundings

The university rectorate is at Kosančićev venac 29 in Belgrade’s historic center, while teaching is distributed among the four faculties and interdisciplinary facilities. Students should map the location of their actual department rather than assuming that all classes meet at the rectorate. Travel time between buildings may matter when combining courses or attending rehearsals, exhibitions and university events. Belgrade is Serbia’s capital and uses the Serbian dinar. For arts students, studying in the city offers access to a broader cultural setting beyond university premises, including performance, exhibition, film and media activity. The university explicitly presents its relationship with Belgrade’s cultural and creative community as part of the learning environment, particularly for interdisciplinary and cultural-management study. International students should budget for an urban, non-residential experience. The university advises arranging accommodation early because it does not operate its own residences. Its international office may assist exchange students with applications to a student residence or with private-market options. Foreign students must also check Serbia’s entry rules, obtain required health insurance and complete residence formalities; stays exceeding 90 days require attention to temporary-residence procedures.

Costs & Career Outcomes

No single university-wide 2026/2027 tuition figure covers every student. Fees depend on the faculty, program, funding status and, where applicable, applicant category. Candidates should use the fee decision attached to the relevant 2026/2027 admissions call and obtain written confirmation from the responsible student office before making a financial commitment. The absence of tuition values in the database record should not be read as free study. For one current reference point only, the official page for the English-taught MA in Cultural Policy and Management displays tuition of €2,100/€2,300 for its 2026/2027 intake. Because the page presents two amounts, applicants should confirm which rate applies to their circumstances. It also lists a €170 foreign-qualification recognition expense, separate administrative charges and possible bank costs. These amounts should not be generalized to other degrees. Housing is likewise excluded from a university-wide residential charge because the institution does not operate campus accommodation; students need a separate budget for a student residence or private rental, transport, food, materials and health insurance. Career preparation is closely connected to artistic practice but differs by discipline. The cultural-policy master’s includes an obligatory internship, while practice-based programs develop work through studios, performances, productions, exhibitions and supervised projects. The university’s Center for Teaching and Learning offers workshops and resources related to employment, self-employment and professional networking. No current institution-wide graduate employment rate, salary figure or employer list was found in the selected official sources, so applicants should ask individual faculties about recent graduate pathways, industry partnerships and discipline-specific placement evidence.
