My experience

The University of Montenegro is the oldest higher education institution in Montenegro. The professors are amazing lecturers, and ready to help their students with their academic tasks. The courses are very helpful, and the lessons are interesting. During my studies, I have developed critical understanding, and learned about English history and literature from Anglo-Saxon times onwards.

Great theoretical knowledge, but lack of practical

I study at the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Montenegro. The most positive thing is that you are always in tune with international politics and international affairs. There is a strong emphasis in learning about world history so you can better understand the events that are happening today. The theoretical knowledge you get here is really great, but what I don't like is that there is no practical experience, unless you try to gain it on your own, regardless of the University.
