The University of Dubrovnik is making great efforts to continuously increase the quality of the teaching, scientific, research, and other activities. We pay attention to labour market, and to local, regional and national community and hence launch studies that do not copy those already existing in Croatia. At the same time we care about the past, present and future of the City and about the synergy of academia with our milieu, so we will keep on setting up the international and studies arising from the tradition and culture of Dubrovnik. We have developed and profiled ourselves as internationally recognized University each year attracting a growing number of foreign teachers and students who wish to spend part of their studies in Dubrovnik. International cooperation, the excellence of studies and of scientific and research work are key determinants of the planned development. We follow new technologies and consequently continue to equip the existing facilities with modern teaching aids, technical equipment and equipment needed for particular studies. For our students to be acquainted with the state of affairs and with the demand in the labour market we will enhance the good cooperation with entrepreneurs. Students will be given the opportunity to acquire new knowledge and skills by participating in various projects, contests, and programmes of professional practice. The University of Dubrovnik consists of the following seven departments: Department of economics and business economics, Maritime department, Electrical engineering and computing department, Department of aquaculture, Mass communication department, Art and restoration department and the studies outside the departments. Institute for marine and coastal research and Institute for Mediterranean plants are its constituents, while the Student centre is linked to the University at the extra-institutional level.
