Imagine that you are studying in Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia and a vibrant and culturally rich city that offers a plethora of opportunities for students to explore, learn, and have an unforgettable experience. At the end of your studies, your diploma is awarded to you by the professors of one of the most reputable universities in London. No London high rent or living expenses, but with equal diploma, knowledge and global possibilities.
Sounds as educational utopia? What sounded as distant dream, is now your opportunity. Partnership between Algebra Bernays University and Goldsmiths, University of London, one of the most prestigious constituents of University of London, made it a reality back in 2022.
However, this story doesn’t end there. Thanks to this partnership, students now have the opportunity to enrol in one of our three bachelor programmes with 25% discount of the tuition fee, which is equal to the tuition fee for the single degree option.
British diploma, Croatian address
Goldsmiths, University of London is not unknown name. It is about the university which is home of creative and research spirit for more than a century and is part of University of London since 1904. Specializing in the fields of creative industries, social sciences and humanities, management and computing, Goldsmiths is a common name on prestigious ranking lists. According to the QS World University Rankings, Goldsmiths is ranked among the top 600 universities the world, eight academic departments are ranked among the top 50 in their respective fields, while four academic departments are among the top 20 in the world .
Algebra Bernays University provides the opportunity for home and international students to study in Zagreb for both a British and European degree.
Connecting the labour market, technology and creativity
As part of partnership with Goldsmiths, Algebra Bernays University offers three bachelor study programmes in English language: Digital Marketing, 3D Design and Software Engineering. These study programmes combine the theoretical depth with practical application, focusing on skills which aro sought after in today’s global labour market.
Classes are held in Zagreb, in English language, at a modern and innovative campus, with Goldsmiths expert supervision as well as a personalised teaching approach of professors and teachers to each student.
Students work in small, international groups which do not exceed 30 students, which encourages interaction, teamwork, professional development as well as excellent communication and linguistic skills.
At the end of their studies, each student receives two degrees: a Croatian degree from Algebra Bernays University and a British degree from Goldsmiths, University of London – fully equal to one which students obtain while studying in London.
Knowledge without borders
What additionally stands out in these study programmes it is not only content, but the context as well. Studies are conducted in a multicultural environment, with home and international students coming to Zagreb from different parts of the world. In such dynamics, students are developing their soft skills, emotional intelligence and business English skills during their studies, and such skills are today almost equally important as technical knowledge.
Unlike studying in UK, where annual tuition can reach up to 50 thousand euros, and average living costs can be higher than 1500 euros per month, studying in English in Croatia provides equal academic quality with considerably lower expenses and simpler enrolment process.
Encouraging excellence – in knowledge and in finances
Algebra Bernays University always rewards effort. Apart from this one-time financial incentive, students will have the opportunity to compete for financial incentives for upper years of study based on academic excellence and merit. Such an approach not only motivates, but also and clearly states that knowledge is long-term an investment – one that pays off.
Who can apply?
Applications are open for all candidates, both home and international.
All candidates need to complete the application process by the deadlines prescribed by the University.
