Abstract of the Rector's speech:

• Indeed, we should all be proud that UDG, after almost eight years of existence, have already been recognizable in the region as one of the most successful, not only private, universities, as well as the new spiritual center of Montenegro. The conditions that we offer, study programs that we develop, teaching staff we create at UDG, relationship with students, and much more, make us different and distinctive.
• It feels good to be different - but it also requires a lot of work. A lot of investment in our knowledge, culture, behavior, organization.
• This year's great admission to the university - that surprised all of us – positively, confirms that young people increasingly think about the conditions in which they will study, and what students receive at the University, and  their goal is less to obtain a formal degree. 
• Participation in a growing number of European research projects, as well as the grant to the Laboratory of industrial design from the World Bank.
• We received a positive and unconditional European evaluation of the idea, requirements, organizations; personnel, creative and development potential of the development process.
• The cycle of meetings of all UDG teachers and assistants, as well as a round tables dedicated to the discussion of the Almanac of studies, are regular at UDG.
