Aim
Throughout the Market Economy module, BOS students are to reveal the principles and mechanics of the process of creation of new economic values in the national economy. The purpose of these newly created values is for them to satisfy the consumption of the society members so to enable their individual and collective, material and spiritual survival and prosperity. This module should search the means for clear and simple introduction to the principles of market economic system, which, through historical trial and error, has proven to be most efficient and successful in the long run. Market economy, in its various forms, stands as a basis for development of democratic institutions in modern societies. In that respect, primer for competition amongst the ideas and Programmes, political parties and individuals, has its roots in competition among goods and services, labor and capital. As a rule, in medium and long run, market economy and democracy go together and, in bolstering and surpassing each other, present the basis of modern societies throughout the world. Basic goal of this module is to give students of BOS necessary understanding of the surrounding processes in the market economy, which is finally, after a decade of postponement, emerging in our country.
Teaching Method
Every subject should be presented in an easy-to-understand manner, with freedom of interruption, discussion and polemic questions by the BOS students. Students, on the other hand, should be prepared for the forthcoming lecture with, in advance distributed, readings and handouts. Every lecture will have its presentation student group (3 to 4 students), which is to prepare the meaning of key words for the lecture. At the beginning of the class, student group will present its views on the key words in first 5 to 10 minutes with potential comments and questions of the speaker. Next 40 to 50 minutes the speaker delivers the lecture with free interruptions with student questions and comments. Last 30 to 45 minutes is left for discussion and polemics. At the end of every class, students and the speaker assess the introductory presentation of the student group and give them their anonymous mark ranging from 1 to 5. Presentation student group with the highest average mark is publicly proclaimed and awarded at the end of the semester.

Aim
The main goal of this course is to inform students about the religious phenomena in their varied social, cultural, historical and other manifestations and its importance for contemporary civil society. The students are expected to express their sensitivity to differences, i.e. to a great number of cultures and religious traditions in our local and global landscapes. Such sensitivity will be contrasted to a monistic, traditionalist worldview, the one, which is most often in collision with the most dominant tendencies of a contemporary society. Besides learning about their own traditions, the students will, thus, have an opportunity to see Others in their own, different perspectives. Furthermore, special attention will be dedicated to some important issues of the Serbian society, such as: the dialogue and reconciliation of religious communities after the war; the debate regarding religious education in public schools; the presentation of religious subjects in the media; the problem of religious freedoms, etc

Aim
Talking about an open economy, broad economic and social changes, as well as economic reconstruction is almost impossible without developing a market economy. Development of financial markets is one of the prerequisites of such process, because they are the heart of market economy and one of the most important ways of connecting with the world. Our educational system unfortunately pays insufficient attention to this field of economics. The aim of this module is to inform students on the basic premises of financial markets and stock exchanges
Teaching Method
Module is organised in a form of a simulation during which students have the opportunity to practice investing money by buying their own shares at the real Stock Exchange. While simulating some students experience the sweetness of making profits while other feel the bitter of loses, situation that millions of people are facing every day all over the developed world. That way they will gain knowledge and skills on the very important part of a market economy. This is not only a part of economics but also a part of the general culture. We hope that this knowledge will become necessary in our students' everyday lives as soon as possible. In addition to this some visits to the Belgrade Stock Exchange and Broker House are planned.
