History

The Department of Political Science was established at the Faculty of Law at the University of Montenegro in 2003. The Department was established based on the assessment of the Faculty of Law and the Home Committee for the Establishment of the Department that the study of political science should be separated as a separate curriculum within a separately organized teaching unit, as is the practice in most countries where political science is studied. When establishing the Department, a more cautious approach prevailed, according to which the study of political science in its first phase should be located at the Faculty of Law, with a clear orientation that, when the conditions for this are met, the Department would grow into the Faculty of Political Science.

There were four majors within the Department: Diplomacy and International Relations, Journalism, Political Science and Administration, and Social Work. This scheme was established based on experience from the region, primarily modeled on the curricula of the faculties of political science in Belgrade, Zagreb, Ljubljana, and Sarajevo, as well as on comparative experiences from other countries where political science is studied.

On May 3, 2006, the transformation of the Department into the Faculty of Political Science was officially celebrated, which has since functioned as an independent university unit.

In the academic year 2006-2007, the Faculty enrolled the first generation of students in the new major – European Studies.

The first generation of students began their education according to the old study system, but already in the second year, the curriculum and study regime for that generation, in accordance with the equivalence provision of the Statute of the University of Montenegro, was adjusted to the Rules for Studying at the University of Montenegro in accordance with the Bologna Declaration. Thus, currently, all enrolled generations study according to the new study rules and the entire teaching process is carried out according to the Bologna system.
