Welcome to the website of International School for Social and Business Studies (ISSBS)!

ISSBS is a young but perspective faculty which offers contemporary and internationally comparable study programmes, interesting for students as well as its wider social-economic environment. Despite its short existence the faculty has already achieved local, national and international recognition.

We are carrying out two first cycle study programmes - university study programme Economy in Contemporary Society and  professionally oriented higher education  study programme Business in Contemporary Society. In the second cycle of study students are offered three unique master's study programmes Knowledge Management, Management and Quality in Education and Lifelong Learning: Human Resource Management. The faculty has acquired a state concession for both first cycle study programmes and a second cycle study programme Knowledge Management  which enables full-time students to study free of charge.

ISSBS is aware of the importance of cooperation with its social-economic environment. Some examples of such cooperation include round tables on contemporary issues, research projects, participation of field experts in the process of education, etc. The faculty is also involved in international educational and research activities, demonstrated in numerous exchanges of students, teachers and other staff with foreign higher education institutions. Because we believe in learning as a never ending process we offer various possibilities of participation in lifelong learning programmes.

In 2010 ISSBS has acquired FIBAA International Accreditation for the study programme Knowledge Management. The awarded seal of accreditation is an internationally recognized proof of quality of the study programme as well as the entire School. We expect it will further establish ISSBS as a quality higher education institution in the international community and make our graduates more competitive in the labor market.

We will continue to strive for the quality of our process of education in the frames of which we are also preparing a doctoral study programme in the fields of economics and business studies. We will upgrade our research activities, also through more intensive participation of our students. In the frames of the Erasmus programme we will encourage more student exchanges and placements.

As a dean of this faculty I strive to equip our students with applicable knowledge and experience that will be useful for their careers. At the same time I wish for many inspiring ideas, motivated students with creative initiatives and a good working atmosphere for all of us.

International School for Social and Business Studies just might be the treasury of knowledge you have been looking for, therefore join us on our journey!
