Around 50 foreign students from partner universities spend one academic year at the University of Montenegro through mobility programs. As the University reports, the majority of students comes from Poland, Portugal and Romania.
“Foreign students are usually interested in the Faculty of Economics, Faculty of Philology, Art Academy and Faculty of Political Sciences. They usually stay in dormitories”, say the representatives of the University of Montenegro.
User of one of such programs, Beatriz Santos Boa, from Portugal, talks about her experience in Montenegro.
“I’m a post-graduate in the field of political sciences and international relations. Montenegro seemed to me as a very safe country to live in. I am very happy with my choice”, says Beatriz.
The best part as she says is that she learned more about the history of our country and its politics.
“In Portugal Balkans is not in the focus of attention, and therefore, coming to Montenegro was a lesson”, says Beatriz.
She has stayed in Montenegro for five months, maximum period offered by Erasmus program, but she fell in love with our country and she plans to come back.
“I would recommend Montenegro to every foreign student, since it is a beautiful country, with kind people, willing to help. Language barrier might be a problem, but with time, that can be resolved too. We managed to communicate effectively with the use of English and a very limited knowledge of Montenegrin language”, says Beatriz.
Finally, Beatriz says that her stay in Montenegro was a never-to-be-forgotten experience.
