September 2026 cohort is open. Rolling admissions until 15 September. Master Track and Short-Cycle both available, hybrid format.

Applications for the September 2026 MCF cohort are now open. Both tracks — Master Degree (60 ECTS, with thesis) and Short-Cycle (30 ECTS, no thesis) — accept applications on a rolling basis until 15 September 2026.

What's new for 2026

The curriculum has been refreshed with three additions: an expanded LLMs-for-finance module, a deeper reinforcement-learning sequence on the trading floor, and a new applied workshop in collaboration with Ominimo on real-time pricing systems.

The hybrid format continues — three evenings per week, classroom in Belgrade plus simulcast online plus recordings. Several international applicants in each cohort participate without relocating; the Short-Cycle path remains friendly to foreign-degree holders.

What to do next

The quickest first step is a 30-minute conversation with the Program Director. Use the Talk to Director option in the header — it covers your background, what to expect, and which track suits you. The full application form is also live and can be started any time.
