On the basis of the provisions of the Law on Higher Education of Kosova, the title
‘university’ may be granted under the provisions of the Law only to an accredited provider of higher education with:
- a research program that includes Doctorates;
- an independently audited enrolment of at least 3000 full-time-equivalent students; and
- courses or programs in at least five different subject groups as prescribed in administrative instructions issued by the Ministry.
Regarding the above mentioned requirements of the Law on Higher Education of
Kosova,
1. The “European College Dukagjini” began its work in October 2006, and immediately enrolled more than 600 students in one academic year
(2006/2007). Based on this significant demand, expectations are that this
University could, in one five-year cycle of studies, have at least 4000 to
5000 students.
2. With the aim of further developing its programs and out of respect for the Law on Higher Education in Kosova, this institution immediately began to develop programs of study and curricula in more than five different subject groups.
3. With the goal of developing a stable and long-term research program, the institution established an Office for Management of Research and International Affairs, by employing an eminent professional in the field of higher education research from the U.S., Dr. Mark Bryant.
We are fully aware that at the moment we do not currently fullfill all requirements to use the name University due to the fact that we are an institution that is still in its early stages of its foundation, and in all official documents, until the requirements of the Law are fullfiled, we will remove the word “University”, until permitted to use it by the Ministry of Education.
