From the Faculty of Information Technologies to Belgrade Metropolitan University

The Faculty of Information Technologies – FIT was created in 2005. It was built on the principles of the Bologna declaration for the European education system. The curricula in the areas of information technologies were in line with the recommendation of American information professional association IEEE and ACM, which direct the curricula of American universities in IT fields, along with needs of companies, government and other organizations. Due to that fact, the degree from FIT is easily globally recognized.

As a pioneer in introducing distance learning, FIT enabled, for the first time in Serbia, internet study options for students who do not live in Belgrade, or are employed and cannot attend lectures. The modern market dictates needs for directed education of prospect employees. FIT has always followed those needs and from the first years of its existence, along with Information Technologies, developed six other study programmes in the fields of management and design. The specifics of the methods of studying at FIT built a sign of recognition which was continued at the more powerful institution, Belgrade Metropolitan University.

There are three faculties at present:

Faculty of Information Technologies  – FIT
Faculty of Management  – FM
Faculty of Digital Arts  – FDU

The objective of Belgrade Metropolitan University is to become not only a university with regional impact, but also a university on the world scale.
