The key idea of the Faculty for International Economics, Finance and Business (FIEFB):

•To find the way to encourage undoubtely talented and inteligent young people from Montenegro to develop the sense to live intensive life;
•To find the way to help them to liberate from prejudices and values of the environment, which disturb their success on global market;
•To find the way to develop those youg people’s courage to make decisions and look for new solutions, their courage to go for inovation;
•To find the way to develop ethical values needed for business success.


FIEFB tries not to overburden students with memorizing unnecessary fact which is old-fashioned learning concept. FIEFB develops new learning concept – which emphasize that building one’s personality is as important, if not more, as building an expert! Aiming to do so we consider foreign experience, but we emphasize the role of our cultural uniqueness, as well as mental profile of people from this area. Mechanical replication of foreign programs is not enough to motivate the students, to wake them up!

Key principles to be followed in order to achieve this strategic goal are:

a) Modern knowledge: originating from megatrends of development ("Think globaly, act globaly.")
b) Practical knowledge: which develop ability to learn fast and efficiently solve practical problems (“The theory is the best practice.").
c) Flexibility: developing abilities to make people interested in keeping up with the changes ("The change is the only constancy in economics and business").
d) Interdisciplinary knowledge: acquiring knowledge and skills needed to understand the field of study
e) Individualism: develop abilities of student to manage his own freedom and ability to take responsibility for his own acts.

Operative rules and operative principles needed to achieve strategic knowledge:

1.All programs within university provide freedom of choice to students. Students will study on university overall more then on only one faculty.
2.Motivation of students – make classes popular and attractive for students and enable them to be active participants at classes
3.Mentorial work – individualization of classes: students can choose menthor till graduation
4.Strenghtening psyho-phisical abilities of students

Faculty for International Economics, Finance and Business is the continuation of the idea that started to realize in 1992, when international Postgraduate Studies “Entrepreneurial Economy” (PSEE) were established within University of Montenego. Soon after that, in 1995, the idea originally named “Entrepreneurial Economy” continued to live also through work of the “Department for Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurial Finance” (DEEF). The idea “Entrepreneurial Economy”, intellectual property of professor Vukotic, the Dean of PSEE and founder of FIEFB still lives and is being implemented at the Faculty for International Economics, Finance and Business since it was founded. This means that FIEFB has more then 16-years of experience in education process in Montenegro and the region. Beside Professor Vukotic, the Dean of FIEFB and PSEE, founders of the Faculty are company Univerzitats; Professor Dragan Vukcevic, Podgorica, Montenegro; Professor Steve Pejovich, Texas, USA; and Professor Enrico Colombatto, Torino, Italy.

This means that FIEFB has completely new idea of studies!
