What Visoka poslovna škola strukovnih studija Novi Sad does

Visoka poslovna škola strukovnih studija Novi Sad (High Business School of Professional Studies Novi Sad) is a public higher education institution headquartered at Vladimira Perića Valtera 4, Novi Sad, Serbia. Operating under Serbia's professional higher education framework, the school awards state-recognized undergraduate (osnovne strukovne studije), master's (master strukovne studije), and short-program qualifications in business disciplines. As of 19 February 2026, the school became a constituent unit of the newly formed Akademija strukovnih studija Novi Sad through a government-led merger authorized by the Assembly of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, which also designated the school as the academy's seat.

The institution's academic portfolio comprises eight active programs: five undergraduate tracks (Finance and Banking 2024, Tourism and Hospitality 2024, Trade and International Business 2024, Business Informatics 2024, and a Distance Learning System version of Finance and Banking), three master's tracks (International Business and Finance, Marketing Management in Tourism 2024, and Management and Business 2024), plus a short program in Contemporary Business Management. Academic delivery is supported by a Moodle-based e-learning platform and an in-house Student Service electronic system for exam registration and records management. The school also operates a Career Development and Professional Practice Center that mediates employer engagement, runs international scientific conferences on European economic competitiveness, and participates in EU-funded mobility and capacity-building programs (ERASMUS+ KA1/KA2, PRO-VET, Jean Monnet).

The school's revenue model is tuition-based, with self-funded (samofinansirajući) students paying per academic year across undergraduate, master's, and distance learning programs under a subscription-style annual billing cadence. Its go-to-market is enrollment-led: annual public competitions with entrance examinations and ranked admissions, supported by digital marketing through the school's website and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), and direct student communications via the Student Service system. The institution generates no disclosed revenue from commercial enterprise contracts, has no outside investors, and operates as a non-profit government entity.
