We are pleased and proud to point out that the Faculty of Business Economics and Entrepreneurship from Belgrade has become a recognizable higher education institution thanks to the great effort and perseverance of generations of quality teachers, associates and non-professional staff. It took a lot of energy, will, work and enthusiasm to achieve the qualifications that adorn our school today. The Faculty of Business Economics and Entrepreneurship belongs to a small community of higher education institutions of academic studies that are independent and in all respects identical to faculties, except for the fact that they are not affiliated to a university, and consequently it is accredited for basic three- and four-year study programs (economics and law), as and a master's study program in economic orientation. Teaching takes place in Belgrade and in accredited departments throughout Serbia. All study programs and levels of study are given individual importance, where a special place is occupied by the determination to continuously improve the knowledge and expertise of the teaching staff.

We did not stop at the use of external resources in order to increase the level of educational abilities of the school as a whole, but also from an individual point of view, but we also undertook our own activities to realize this very important goal that we set for ourselves. Thus, for the thirteenth time, we are organizing an international scientific-professional conference, which is traditionally held in the month of October every year, and where participants from as many as 17 countries of the world gladly presented their work prior to 2023.

The school cooperates with several higher education institutions and institutes. In particular, we would like to emphasize the cooperation with the Institute for Agricultural Economics from Belgrade, with which, among other things, we publish the scientific and professional journal International Review, which is on the list of categorized domestic journals determined by the Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation of the Republic of Serbia and is among the highly valued journals. (M-23). In addition, PEP independently publishes the magazine Trends in Business (M-51), which makes our school a particularly successful educational institution in the field of publishing. The College of Business Economics and Entrepreneurship actively participates in the implementation of many projects, both domestic and international.

For more than 16 years, the PEP Faculty has been creating part of the intellectual elite of our Republic, building itself as well. We can proudly say that our higher education institution relies more and more on its own teaching potential. Also, we do not forget the contribution to the development of PEP made by our former teachers who were regularly engaged in other schools and faculties, such as prof. Dr. Vlajko Petković, prof. Dr. Velimir Pavlovic, Prof. Dr. Radosav Aničić and many others. Due to the achievement of the highest possible level of teaching quality, a certain number of professors from other, first of all, state faculties and schools are hired at our school. We made an undoubted contribution to the academic community by training personnel who perform important social tasks and functions both in the country and abroad. The mobility of students and teaching staff is an important component of modern higher education. Therefore, this year our student professors have participated, and will continue to participate, in various events related to participation in the implementation of, among other things, the Erasmus program (Romania, Italy, Kenya...), but also others.

Special attention is paid to sports activities, which includes participation in numerous international student sports competitions, from which our students brought over 250 trophies for winning first places in various sports. In the light of this tradition, this year we will participate in an international sports competition in Rome. The main goal of the College of Business Economics and Entrepreneurship is the professional training of our students so that they can successfully respond to the increasingly complex requirements of practice, which implies constant improvement of all subjects of the teaching process, as well as other employees. We especially underline, that lifelong learning becomes the standard by which we are guided, which is why, in addition to maintaining an active relationship with our students even after graduation, we provide continuous training for teachers who encourage them to use the opportunities available in the international and domestic framework.

The quality of work and our graduate students are the strongest factors in the general social promotion of the Faculty of Business Economics and Entrepreneurship.
