The University of Montenegro was founded on 29 April 1974Today, the University of Montenegro is situated in nine Montenegrin towns: Podgorica,

Nikšic, Cetinje,Kotor, Herceg Novi, Bar, Bijelo Polje, Budva and Berane.

Some basic facts

1979 - Education of Physicists in Montenegro begins at Department of Physics at Institute for Mathematics and Physics;

1988 - Department of Physics at Faculty of Science;

Since 1979 – 15 assistants from the Department of Physics got PhD;
