What University of Belgrade Faculty of Law does

The University of Belgrade Faculty of Law (Univerzitet u Beogradu – Pravni fakultet) is the oldest faculty within the University of Belgrade, Serbia's oldest university (founded 1808), and operates as a state-accredited public higher-education institution headquartered at Bulevar kralja Aleksandra 67, Belgrade. It delivers a four-year undergraduate law degree, two-year master academic studies, doctoral studies, and an expanding portfolio of specialized programs — International Master in Taxation, LawGEM (Law and Gender), Master in European Integration (MEI), and Master in Public Procurement Management (MPPM) — alongside continuing-education Knowledge Innovation Studies in Business Compliance and Data Protection.

The institution runs on a dual technology stack for academic delivery: the Moodle LMS at lms.ius.bg.ac.rs for course content and an E-Student portal (estudent.ius.bg.ac.rs) for course registration, exam applications, and student record management, supplemented by an in-house library information system supporting one of the region's oldest and richest legal collections. It also maintains an Institute for Legal and Social Sciences, a Publishing Center producing three academic journals (Anali, CRIMEN, Acta Diurna), legal clinics across human trafficking, anti-corruption, discrimination, environmental law, and asylum, and an alumni network — collectively functioning as an integrated academic and research ecosystem.

Revenue is generated through two streams: recurring public higher-education funding from the Republic of Serbia via the University of Belgrade system, and tuition/specialized-program fees for master, doctoral, and continuing-education cohorts. The go-to-market is direct-to-student, with admissions handled via entrance exams and the prijemni.ius.bg.ac.rs portal, and international student mobility delivered through Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes and bilateral agreements with partner universities in the EU and Western Balkans. The faculty primarily serves domestic Serbian students at undergraduate, master, and doctoral levels, with secondary segments in international exchange students and practicing legal professionals seeking specialized credentials.
