\nAll courses are primarily taught in Serbian language, and some study programmes are accredited for implementation also in English. Foreign students have support in English, recommended books, consultations, organizational support, but they are also offered to learn Serbian language while being at BMU.
\n
\nWhen cooperation with a foreign institution is initiated (either by BMU or by partner institution) Academic Collegium is considering whether this offer is suitable for BMU (if courses are compatible, areas are similar and cooperation provides a good education and experience for students or staff). When collegium adopt this initiative, Mobility Department is starting the procedure of signing an Inter-institutional agreement. The Mobility Coordinator is in charge to prepare full documentation to be signed by the Rector, related to the organization and monitoring, Learning agreements will be managed by the Academic Coordinator because of the ECTS recognition and all mentoring support that students need to have.
\n
\nWithin the Learning Agreement, the contracting parties (student, home institution and host institution) specify the courses that student plans to enrol, or other academic activities (e.g. research), which a student plans to complete during their stay at the host institution.
\n
\nBy signing the Learning Agreement, the home institution approves the mobility along with attendance of chosen academic activities, and guarantees the recognition of ECTS and grades acquired during the exchange. The Learning Agreement is signed by the student, the authorized person of the institution (Rector in case of BMU) and the authorized person of the receiving institution.
\n
\nThe contracting parties sign the Learning Agreement prior to the exchange, unless the host institution decides otherwise. The learning contract can be additionally changed only with the consent of all signatories, and all changes must be made in writing.<\/p>\n
\n
\nMost of students at Serbian universities are capable to participate in class, read, learn and communicate in English since the high school education is preparing them for level B1 or B2. In order to participate in mobilities, ongoing and incoming students should have minimum B1 level of English language. The English knowledge and communication level is determined by the Academic Coordinator with a test that shows whether student\u2019s level is satisfying, if not, a student can have support by BMU\u2019s English teachers. If an incoming student wish to learn Serbian language, the University can offer additional classes or help them in finding appropriate language school.<\/p>\nDURING MOBILITY<\/h2>\n
\nICO will organize welcoming reception of incoming foreign students, giving them needed information regarding the university, their stay, and information of their interest related to Belgrade (or Ni\u0161, if they are located in Ni\u0161). They will be informed about the organization of their studies, what is expected from them, how they can get help from BMU staff etc. The Mobility Coordinator will organize different social events for foreign students, and events where they can meet Serbian students and build their good relationships. ICO will also organize special events for foreign students, such as parties, so that they can know each other and exchange their experience regarding their stay in Serbia and at BMU. ICO will also organize different activities to help a smooth integration of foreign student into local environment.
\n
\nFor ongoing students Mobility and Academic Coordinators will be on disposal via email and Skype, and in communication with ICO of a host institution.
\n
\nWhile being on exchange at the host institution, the student retains the status of a student at the BMU (home institution).
\nDuring the mobility period, a student does not stop the study nor remain in the home institution, as it is assumed that the student has achieved his academic obligations in the receiving institution (unless this issue is regulated differently, in which case the student should be informed in a timely manner).
\n
\nDuring the mobility period, a student continues to pay regular tuition fees to his\/her home institution. Mobility students will communicate the Mobility Coordinator for all their problems, in person, or by sending an e-mail.<\/p>\n
