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 />
