Opportunities from University of Belgrade Faculty of Political Sciences — OSCE Scholarship Call

For 2026/27, the OSCE Mission to Serbia will administer up to eight Master's scholarships and up to seven scholarships for one academic year of doctoral study at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Political Sciences and Faculty of Security Studies. Master's applicants must apply to the MA in Peace, Security and Development at the Faculty of Political Sciences or eligible Master's studies at the Faculty of Security Studies, while doctoral applicants must apply to doctoral study at one of the two faculties. Candidates must apply to the faculty in parallel with the scholarship application. The current call does not state a cash value or itemized cost coverage, so no amount is inferred.

All scholarship applicants must be Serbian citizens. The programme targets people working in the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Interior, Security Information Agency, civil society or media, as well as candidates pursuing or intending to pursue academic or professional careers relevant to security-sector governance. Scholarship eligibility depends on formal acceptance to the sponsored University of Belgrade programme. PhD candidates who are already enrolled and have successfully completed the first doctoral year may also apply. Qualified female candidates are particularly encouraged.
