Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Montenegro
The Mechanical Department of the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Podgorica, the predecessor of today’s Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, was founded in 1970. It became an independent faculty within the University of Montenegro in 1978. It is the only faculty in Montenegro dedicated to mechanical engineering. Throughout its history, the faculty has made a significant contribution to the country’s industrial development. In modern times, it produces professionals who play a key role in the development of entrepreneurship, manufacturing industries, energy, the IT sector, and the maintenance of all mechanical systems and facilities in the country. Mechanical engineering professionals remain in high demand both domestically and globally.
Vision
Our vision is to become the leading educational and research institution in the field of mechanical engineering in Montenegro by adhering to the highest international standards in education and research. Our goal is to make our institution, graduates, and research work appealing to both Montenegrin and international research and development institutions and business entities.
Academic Programs
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering offers academic undergraduate, masters, and doctoral programs, following the 3+2+3 study model.
