Metropolitan University

Key Highlights

• Institutionally accredited by Serbia’s national accreditation authority on 21 January 2025
• Formed as Metropolitan University in 2010 from an earlier information-technology faculty
• Main location in Belgrade, with a teaching unit in Niš and online study options
• Academic organization spans information technology, management, digital arts, and foreign languages

Student Life & Environment

Student life is shared across the Belgrade and Niš locations, with some activities also supporting online learners through the university’s digital platforms. The university’s orientation material describes a student club in Belgrade, a student club and chill zone in Niš, a student-mentor program, and introductory sessions for the iMET portal, LAMS learning system, and MET mobile application. These platforms are used for schedules, coursework, examination administration, financial information, and results. The published welcome-week program included social and recreational activities such as board games, table football, table tennis, a bicycle tour, a running club, film evenings, and welcome events. These examples demonstrate organized community activity, although individual events and dates should not be assumed to recur unchanged in 2026/27. Students also have representation through the university’s Student Parliament. Incoming mobility students receive academic and administrative support from mobility and academic coordinators. The university says coordinators assist with social integration and help students look for accommodation. This should not be read as a guarantee of university-owned housing or a room placement: no current institutional residence inventory or housing price schedule was verified. Students who need accommodation should request current guidance early and budget separately for Belgrade housing.

Location & Surroundings

The university’s main Belgrade site is at Tadeuša Košćuška 63. The official location page places it near the Danube and the Milan Gale Muškatirović sports center. This setting gives students access to Serbia’s capital while locating the campus outside the model of a self-contained residential estate. Applicants should plan for an urban commute and confirm travel times from any prospective accommodation. Metropolitan University also operates a teaching unit at Bulevar Svetog Cara Konstantina 80A in Niš. Serbia’s accreditation guide separately identifies this as an off-site unit and lists the programs approved there. The university’s admissions and tuition pages show that course availability and prices can differ between Belgrade and Niš, so the two locations should not be treated as interchangeable. For the database record, Belgrade remains the correct primary city. Students interested in Niš should verify that their particular program and study mode are authorized and offered there in 2026/27. No university-owned residential campus was verified at either location.

Costs & Career Outcomes

The official 2026/27 fee schedule prices tuition in euros, notwithstanding the database record’s RSD currency field. For foreign students, annual English-language tuition is €5,000 for the listed bachelor’s and master’s programs and €7,000 for the listed doctoral programs. Serbian-language fees vary by field: the published Belgrade bachelor’s rates range from €2,790 for English with Business to €4,290 for Fashion Design, with several technology and management programs priced at €2,990. The schedule also lists distinct Serbian-language master’s and doctoral fees. For eligible regional students, the university advertises installment arrangements, including a 20% payment at enrollment followed by eleven interest-free monthly installments. Applicants should confirm eligibility, payment dates, discounts, and what tuition covers in their individual offer. Housing, food, travel, visa, insurance, and everyday living costs were not verified in a current university budget and should be planned separately. The official fee decision also lists a €500 charge for recognition of a previous foreign degree for further study. Career preparation is embedded unevenly across programs. The university describes professional internships in program curricula, while its Career Development Center is intended to connect students with employers, build workplace skills, and offer employment guidance. No independently verified placement rate, graduate salary, or employer-outcome statistic was found, so students should assess career value through the exact curriculum, internship requirements, portfolio opportunities, and current employer links rather than broad outcome claims.
