Since its inception, 60 years ago, to date,<br />

it has been successfully linking and coordinating<br />

higher education in the field of business<br />

education with modern requirements<br />

of economy and society, always giving new<br />

answers to old questions. Focusing on domestic<br />

and global trends in the multidisciplinary<br />

field of science, the School keeps<br />

promoting the concept of applied studies<br />

and dual education, developing skills and<br />

abilities of students required for practical<br />

work. Recognizing the importance of practical<br />

knowledge and experience for further<br />

professional development of its students,<br />

and the need for their professional advancement<br />

during the studies, the School has been<br />

building a dual system, thus developing a<br />

fruitful cooperation with successful companies<br />

and enterprises. In this way, it allows its<br />

students to have professional practice, fully<br />

efficiently directing them for their future<br />

professional career and fully prepares them<br />

for the labor market. On this road and to<br />

this end, cooperation was establish, among<br />

others, with leading financial institutions<br />

such as the National Bank of Serbia and the<br />

Belgrade Stock Exchange, where in April of<br />

this year, ninety of our students attended<br />

and successfully completed the interactive<br />

educational course “Technical and Fundamental<br />

analysis with simulation of trading”,<br />

where they obtained certificates of education<br />

in stock exchange operations in Serbia.<br />

This and all other activities in teaching<br />

and in student internships, contribute fully<br />

to the raising of the level of professional<br />

qualifications of students and, of course, the<br />

reputation of Belgrade Business School, as a<br />

leader in business education.<br />

THE POWER OF FEEDBACK<br />

In line with its tradition, the School<br />

continues keeping pace with European<br />

Honor<br />

Aware of the fact that visual identity is important for improvement<br />

of the overall quality, it is necessary to refurbish the facade<br />

and area in front of the School, as well as the teachers’ room,<br />

which will bear the name of the former director of the College of<br />

Economics (the precursor of Belgrade Business School), Professor<br />

Nebojša Potkonjak, as the most deserving for the construction<br />

of the impressive buildings of the existing school building in the<br />

city center. Also, as a sign of gratitude and respect towards the<br />

late professor and director, we will also mount a commemorative<br />

plaque in the lobby of the building.<br />

trends, contemporary tendencies and<br />

changes, and has been successfully putting<br />

on a professional path of business education<br />

a large number of students. A special<br />

confirmation of the quality of its work is<br />

the fact that over 120,000 graduates of this<br />

school has work, and is still successfully<br />

working today in Serbia and achieving<br />

outstanding business results. In addition,<br />

12,000 students who are now studying at<br />

the School within seven study programs<br />

of undergraduate studies and three study<br />

programs of specialist studies, show unabated<br />

interest and intellectual curiosity<br />

to complete their study exactly at Belgrade<br />

Business School. In line with this is also the<br />

power of feedback we receive from the labor<br />

market, from companies and organizations<br />

that employ our students, as exceptional<br />

staff, which makes us proud.<br />

The year behind us was marked by numerous<br />

events, among other things a series<br />

of public lectures by prominent professors<br />

and experts from the country and abroad,<br />

as well as the round table organized by<br />

our school. Attendance at the lectures and<br />

round tables testify about the significance,<br />

heterogeneity and relevance of or topics,<br />

and students’ interest confirms this. Also,<br />

in April this year the School was the logistical<br />

and technical support to the European<br />

Association of Institutions in Higher<br />

Education (EURASHE), which organized<br />

its 26 th annual conference entitled “Centers<br />

of cooperation striving for excellence: professional<br />

higher education and the world<br />

of work”. The conference was attended by<br />

150 representatives of vocational schools<br />

from Europe and about 70 representatives<br />

of vocational colleges in Serbia. Eight of<br />

our female students, with teachers of English<br />

and IT, presented the School in the<br />

best possible way and received recognition<br />

from the organizers and participants<br />

for their work. It is therefore not surprising<br />

that the generation enrolled 2015/2016<br />

academic year is the best for success in the<br />

history of this School. Grade point average<br />

of students enrolled in the past year is 3.53<br />

which means that very good students are<br />

studying in our school.<br />

FOR CLEAN AND BRIGHT IMAGE<br />

Respecting tradition and fostering the already<br />

built values, we turn to the future and<br />

in this regard, special emphasis is placed on<br />
