The story
The University of Montenegro was founded on 29 April 1974 in Titograd, SR Montenegro (now Podgorica). In that year the following organisations signed the Agreement on Association into the University of Titograd:
three faculties: Faculty of Economics, Faculty of Engineering, and Faculty of Law (Podgorica),
two colleges: Teaching College (Nikšić) and Maritime Studies College (Kotor), and
three independent scientific institutes: for History, for Agriculture, and for Biological & Medical Research (Podgorica).
A year after its foundation, the institution changed its name to Veljko Vlahović University in honour of the communist activist and World War II participant from Montenegro who died that year. The 1970s was a decade of exponential rise in number of higher education institutions in Yugoslavia, when alongside Podgorica, universities in Osijek, Rijeka, Split, Banja Luka, Mostar, Maribor, Bitola, Kragujevac, and Tuzla all opened their doors. In 1992 the university was given its current name - University of Montenegro.
