Student review [#18444] for Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition
at University of Belgrade

I am a 3rd year student of Iberian studies at the Faculty of Philology, majoring in Spanish language, culture and literature. It enrolls 90 people each year, 45 on a budget and 45 on self-financing. From the first year, it starts with an introduction to culture and the nation, as well as the beginning of Spanish literature, and then continues on to the modern age. On the other hand, a language is learned that starts from the A1 level and reaches the C1. Language classes are in Spanish, while literature and culture lectures are in Serbian. The professors are very dedicated and hold their lectures regularly. Each processor has its own consultations during the work week. The material is passed a little faster in order to achieve all the targeted ideas for further learning. There is a certain required literature for each subject, but also all professors list secondary literature, which is plentiful. Many books have been translated into Serbian, so reading literature is a little easier. The department has its own library and classrooms equipped with video beams and computers through which audio recordings are listened to and exercises are done.
Near our faculty, there is a canteen called Three Skeletons, which is mostly attended by our students.
The faculty is located in the very center of the city so it is connected to all parts, and there are a lot of bus lines.
A year at the faculty costs 119,000 if a student decides to self-finance. I live in the Studenjak home, which costs 30 euros a month, is well connected to the city center and can get to college quickly.
There is also the possibility of exchange through the Erasmus program. Students can also participate in a lot of volunteer places.
