University Business Academy

University Business Academy in Novi Sad was the first privately owned University, which received official recognition and got accredited in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. The University was established in 2000 to educate top-quality young professionals in law and economics in the years of accelerated reconstruction of the domestic economy and judicial system. Our main goal has been to create new generations of professionals capable of applying the acquired knowledge and independently solving complex problems and tasks that the Serbian economy and society is facing in the coming period.
From the day of its establishment till the present day, the University has followed trends in the development of higher education and become a higher education institution that provides a comprehensive and flexible range of quality study programs, integrating scientific research and educational service and always driven by the needs of our immediate users and socio-economic environment.
The University holds a strong position in the higher education market. The Commission has accredited it for Accreditation and Quality Assurance (CAQA) of the Ministry of Education and Science of Serbia Republic. It has a license issued by the Provincial Department of Science Technological Development.
Collaboration with industry and international cooperation are two critical factors in developing the University and its faculties. Therefore, the Center for International Cooperation has been established at the level of the University Business Academy. Its main objective is internationalization: realization of joint projects and mobility of students and teaching staff. A large number of cooperation agreements have already been signed with higher education institutions from other European countries. In this way, University Business Academy in Novi Sad achieves international recognition for education and scientific work, and its diplomas are easily comparable and recognized across borders.
Through the interaction of scientific research and educational services, driven by the needs of the environment and our immediate users, we provide a broad, flexible range of high-quality study programs at undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral study levels, thus creating a dynamic learning community committed to continuous quality improvement. Our wish is to position ourselves among the top universities as a recognized and vital educational institution. We strive to become leaders in education and research while at the same time contributing to the individual development of all our stakeholders and society as a whole.
The University Business Academy set the following objectives from the very beginning: increasing the quality of education, compliance of study programs with the needs of the market, increasing the efficiency of studying, and modernization in terms of the organization of studies. With time, the University has established a distinctive quality and strives to increase its quality level in all aspects continuously. All the proclaimed principles that underpin higher education get their full affirmation at the University, particularly the principles of academic freedom and autonomy of higher education institutions. The University is committed to fully upholding the principle of ensuring equality of higher education institutions, regardless of their form of ownership.
Study programs at the University are designed on the Bologna Declaration's principles, aligned with the achievements of contemporary science and adapted to the demands of the time we live in. When conceptualizing a study program, we start from the principle that there can be no quality of knowledge without the quality of education. Our exceedingly competent and renowned professors implement the study programs, who are proven experts in their fields. Besides expertise, they all demonstrate a high level of professionalism, dedication, and accountability in transferring knowledge to their students. Interactive teaching encourages creativity in students. The knowledge gained during the studies enables our graduates to recognize new values and to be the carriers of new and original ideas, which they can successfully implement in practice. Several generations of our graduates who are highly successful in companies and institutions in which they work have already proven this.
The University's strategic orientation is to become fully capable of responding to the new era's challenges and build a position as one of the leading educational and scientific institutions in the region while developing cooperation with universities and other institutions, both in the home country and abroad. A large number of young and promising teachers and staff is an obvious sign of our University's constant development and a bright future ahead of us.
