The Megatrend University (Serbian: Мегатренд универзитет / Megatrend univerzitet) is a private university located in Belgrade, Serbia. It was founded in 1989 and is organized into 19 institutions.
Since its founding, the University has educated more than 12,000 bachelors, around 120 magisters, 20 masters (since 2007.), and 60 doctors.
History and profile
The very first institute of the system was Belgrade's Megatrend Business School which was established 1989, and later on was the founder of all other institutes which comprise the present Megatrend University.
During 1991, Megatrend Business School, together with the Technical Faculty of Bor carried out the project of management graduate studies introduction. This project which was the first one of this type in South-East Europe, was financially supported by the European Union TEMPUS Fund which was specifically intended for the development of business education. This success has caused further expanding of Megatrend educational network.
In the previous educational system, institutes were missing that could provide the similar kind of knowledge. Most notable is the Faculty of Geo-economy the first institute of this kind in this part of the world.
In February 1997, Megatrend Business School has stipulated the agreement of collaboration with L`Ecole Superieure de Commerce from Grenoble, France. This agreement allowed students to be transferred directly from each of the schools - members of our university to the corresponding school in France, then, it made possible to interchange the students during their studies, as well as to make it possible for them to continue the studies at a postgraduate or doctor of sciences levels.
Similar agreements were stipulated with "Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli" from Italy, with Berlin University of Applied Sciences from Germany, then, with Yanbian University of Science and Technology from China, Bournemouth University from United Kingdom, Academy Eliteâ from Moscow, European School of Business, Rome, Italy and Faculty of Economics, Donetsk National University, Ukraine.
In autumn 1999, Megatrend University of Applied Sciences has become a valid member of global university network NEWS (North-East-West-South), whose members are the universities from all over the world. Also, all institutes of Megatrend University are the members of EAMSA (Euro-Asia Management Studies Association), the sole international association for management studies.
Megatrend University is also known as a "check-diploma" university, which means that there are no any academic or educational standards that students are obliged to fulfill, and that everyone who pays can actually receive any degree.
Critiques also point out that most of the academic stuff of Megatrend University were close to the political structures during the time of Slobodan Milosevic. Milivoje Pavlovic, minister of information in Serbian government from 1991-1994 and Mihailo Markovic, member of Milosevic's socialist party and a prominent ideologist of Serbian nationalism during the late 1980s and 1990s, are just two examples of Megatrend academic stuff and members of the board.
