Open University Božić
Open University Božić, founded in Split, provides participants with opportunities for re-qualification, training, and ongoing education for various professions, leading to employment prospects.

The school's primary objective is to contribute to the intellectual, social, and overall development of the community through the delivery of high-quality educational services, fostering the concept of lifelong learning as a personal lifestyle, and creating new employment opportunities for our students.

An advantage of the Open University lies in the potential for students to secure employment post retraining and/or additional programs.
