BMDA WELCOMES NEW MEMBER

The University of Donja Gorica (UDG) is a private, non-for-profit university located in a suburb of Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro. It was established in February 2010 by the incorporation of five existing faculties: international economics, finance and business; law; information systems and technologies; humanistic studies; and arts. The UDG founders had created these faculties sequentially as components of the future UDG. The aspiration of the founders, which is widely shared within UDG, is to change Montenegrin culture and prepare the country for European accession. The vision is implemented through an innovative education philosophy that stresses intellectual and personal development through active learning.

Today, UDG includes ten faculties and 13 departments: 

- Faculty for International Economics, Finance and Business;

- Faculty for Information Systems and Technologies;

- Faculty of Law, Humanistic studies;

- Faculty of Arts;

- Faculty of Polytechnics;

- Faculty for Food Technology, Safety of Food and Ecology;

- Faculty of Sports Management;

- Faculty of Design and Multimedia;

- Faculty for Culture and Tourism.

Six of these faculties are registered scientific research institutions. Also, UDG has two sisters institutions: Institute for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development and Institute for Strategic Studies and Prognosis. Management of UDG consists of Assembly of founders, Development Council, UDG Senate, Rector and General Manager. UDG participates in many different national and international projects as Tempus, IPA Adriatic, Erasmus Mundus and other.

The whole university  is housed in a single, attractive and well-maintained facility that was purpose built for UDG by one of the university’s founders; it is decorated with inspirational and life-affirm
