University of Dubrovnik
Situated on the southern Adriatic Sea coast, Dubrovnik is often regarded as the most picturesque city on the Dalmatian coast. Referred to as the “Pearl of the Adriatic, ” the city is known for its rich history and culture, stunning architecture, and picturesque landscapes. The city's Old Town is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is full of historic landmarks like the Walls of Dubrovnik and Rector's Palace. Dubrovnik is a very walkable city, where you can traverse the town on charming cobblestoned streets. Folks come from all over to taste the wonderful local cuisine. Although Croatian is the official language, English is widely used.
The University of Dubrovnik has a strong history of welcoming international students and offers exciting opportunities to engage in activities and clubs for a truly authentic Croatian campus experience. Enroll in courses ranging from business, economics, engineering, marine science, biology, and more. All courses are taught in English, with the exception of any language course.
