The faculty is excellent, the professors are great and friendly, accessible to all students. Teaching is varied.
Study in Serbia
Our University is on the Sanghai list, ranked in the top 300 world's Universities, thanks to the scientists from the Faculty of Science and Medical Faculty. Professors have a very good approach to students, thus the students from our faculty have a good quality of knowledge. The main disadvantage is that students do not have that much practical experience, in terms of the training with chemical equipment.
Everything is satisfying
