Courses offered
[edit]FEFA offers both undergraduate and graduate courses, in accordance with accreditation awarded by the Commission for Accreditation and Quality Assurance of the Republic of Serbia. Unlike other traditional European institutions, the school only offers a select number of programs.[7][8] Degrees and study programs are compatible with Bologna process,[2] aimed at making academic degree standards and quality assurance standards more comparable and compatible throughout Europe:

With a focus on the digital economy, startup creation and development, new technologies, marketing, green and sustainable business practices, management, and psychology, enrolling in this program grants students a position that encourages experimentation, creation, learning, and networking with business leaders who are pioneers of change and creators of the future.

Psychology plays a key role in transforming business. During the studies, the focus is not only on motivation, perception, and decision-making, but on everything that encompasses a better understanding of people and teams, resulting in better business decisions and an agile business environment. The program is designed to develop psychologists who deeply understand the business environment and economists with an enhanced understanding of people and organizations. It offers an individual-centric approach, emphasizing a deep understanding of customer relations, employee management, and investor decision-making.
