MPPM Curriculum

The study program lasts one academic year. It is a full time, advanced, postgraduate Master Programme with classroom lectures running from October to June at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Law, Serbia, followed by distance-learning activities and a mandatory professional traineeship in a company or institution, which can be in Serbia, in the student’s home country or elsewhere. Classes will be all taught in English.

In-class phase is divided into 13 Modules. Each Module is taught within one week, from Thursday until Sunday.

Following the lectures and classes at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Law, students are required to participate to the Distance Learning Module, which lasts two months. Students have access to an on-line platform, which includes individual as well as collective learning activities, and provides support in the form of expert tutors, resources available through the documentation centre, and networking.

Final dissertation should be a case study concerning procurement issues related to students’ own organisations, to a specific country or to a public procurement challenge.
