“State-funded” is SORS's “budget” category: students on places the state finances, who pay no tuition. Everyone else is “self-financing” and pays the tuition the institution sets. Private institutions have no state-funded places. A graduate counted as “partly state-funded” financed part of their studies each way. The 2025 figures are SORS's preliminary results and may be revised. Student numbers are for the 2025/26 school year; graduates are those who completed their studies in the 2025 calendar year.

Faculties and programmes are from the Ministry of Education's register for 2025/26. The register does not record which university a faculty belongs to: public faculties are assigned by CollegeMatcher, and a private faculty is shown under a university only where its registered name says so. It has no language-of-instruction or ECTS field, so neither is shown; a programme's language appears only where its name states it.
What it costs
Tuition for self-financing students is set by each institution and is not published as open data — the Ministry of Education's open tuition feed holds only placeholders — so ask the faculty for the current amount. For first-year places at state institutions, the government sets each year how many are state-funded, and each faculty ranks its applicants for state-funded and self-financing places.
The other state universities in Serbia: University of Belgrade, University of Arts, University of Defense, University of Kragujevac, University of Novi Sad, University of Novi Pazar, University of Criminalistics and Police Studies, University of Priština, temporarily seated in Kosovska Mitrovica
