The advantage of the Faculty of Business Studies “Montenegro Business School” is reflected in the fact that it trains specialists in the fields of International Marketing, Public Relations, Banking and Insurance, Accounting and Auditing and Small Business. This type of specialized professional education is unique in the Montenegrin higher education system.
All study programmes are based on the provisions of the Bologna Declaration and the norms and standards of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). The advantage of this method of studying lies in the fact that these are three-year academic studies during which students are trained for the jobs in the field of marketing or financial management. Unlike applied studies, our academic studies allow the continuation of the process of education until the academic degree of Doctor of Science is achieved.
