PROF. DR MILOVAN STANIŠIĆ, DEAN OF UNIVERSITY ”SINGIDUNUM”
Vision of Development and Mission of Transferring Knowledge

University ”Singidunum” today has nine faculties and 12,000 student. Twelve years ago, when professor Dr Milovan Stanišić founded their first faculty, it was the first private university in Serbia. It has enrolled about 20,000 students by now.
– The mission of transferring knowledge is a noble one, and the fact that your knowledge and experience can be of use to somebody else means a lot – says professor Stanišić. – We teach young people to be proactive, to create events. It is necessary to awaken motivation in them, to help them understand that it is them who should fight for a better tomorrow. Only those with ideas will survive. Ideas are the greatest quality, a true capital, and money is only temporarily in our possession.
Young people define success as ascent, adds professor Stanišić, but they should be taught that business is not a constant success. Even the most successful and the wealthiest people had their periods in business operations. One of the rules is to set the goals and to strive to achieve them, continuously go forward regardless of efforts.
– At University ”Singidunum”, we provide students with the opportunity to learn how to achieve their goals, how to lead their life and their career. They will receive superb professional knowledge that has actual market value. And if they have the ambition, they have it all. Those who invest in their development, have the results! There are as many theories of success as there are people. I have managed to achieve my life goals and to, together with great experts and extraordinary professors, do a good thing that benefits both the economy and the society.
