University of Kragujevac,

Overview

The University of Kragujevac is a public research university in central Serbia, established on May 21, 1976, with institutional roots reaching back to Serbia’s first modern higher-education model in Kragujevac (dating to 1838). Today, it brings together 12 faculties across six cities and supports a broad portfolio of undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral study programs, with an enrollment commonly cited around 18,000–20,000 students and roughly 1,200 academic staff. If you are comparing study options in the region, it can be helpful to review other major Serbian universities as well, such as the University of Belgrade and the University of Novi Sad.

6. Accommodation

• University-managed housing where available
• Private rental apartments and shared housing
• Accommodation guidance through the International Relations office and orientation support

When planning your move, compare your options not only within Kragujevac, but also regionally—if you are still deciding between Serbian cities, it may help to compare student life resources across institutions like the University of Novi Sad.
