[EduCativ]

The State University of Tetova is open and accessible to all those who as students, teachers or associates, with their intellectual and moral qualities, in the defined environment of university autonomy as an allegation of academic freedom of individual expression and prove the skills and qualities, give their contribution in the field of education, science, and professionalism.
"The "State University of Tetova has a short history but a long past."
This institution was founded on December 17th, 1994, as an initiative of Albanian intellectuals, NGOs and various apolitical associations, and all higher education enthusiasts in the country and beyond.
From this perspective, the activity, the development of the SUT can be divided into two periods:
Period: 1994-2003 is the historical time of the creation of the University of Tetova
Period: 2004-2010 is the period of institutional development of the University and the time of academic and physical modernization
The university began to move toward academic, conceptual, and institutional reform from the state of emergency. The result of this unsparing activity and dimensioning is the new physiognomy of SUT.
Therefore, SUT is affirmed as a reformed higher education institution, as a single public center in the Albanian language in Macedonia for training, specialization, and scientific research. SUT is a member of the European University Association.
Today SUT is structured into 11 faculties, 35 study programs, 93 fields of study, and three scientific research institutes.
The academic staff consists of 273 full professors and 355 associate professors engaged, or for one academic year, with a progressive growth trend.
Regarding the teaching-educational process, the University pays special attention to the implementation of the Bologna reforms and reforms in professional and scientific research, even though this component is still far from the targets of SUT compared with developed countries. These researches are carried out through joint projects thanks to Erasmus, DAAD, Tempus projects, etc. Relying on European standards, academic research quality is on the increase.
The next period will be the period that would give origin to SUT:
The University Campus (where all faculties will concentrate in one place). The Campus will comprise a building for undergraduate students, master students, doctoral students, specializing students, visiting professors and other guests, a student dormitory, a student canteen, sports arena, university library, modern computer center, and laboratories.
Implementation of Credit Transfer and Accumulation System - ECTS as a credit accumulation system and as a credit transfer system,
Imperative for the implementation of ECTS will be the mobility of students in order. The students can deepen their knowledge at other universities that are signatories of the European Magna Carta.
Internationalization and integration of our University in all European university forums, i.e., in contemporary universities' families. In this context, the cooperation with universities in the region and beyond has tripled.
Enhancement of scientific-research work despite the academic one will boost the dimension of the educational process at the University.
Offering and developing E-learning - learning via the Internet, electronic audiobooks will increase teaching and learning quality.
Putting into operation the audio-visual gadgets already provided to implement the method of "distance learning" with which the students in special classrooms will be able to attend lectures from a distance. Completion of academic facilities and equipping of laboratories with the most modern equipment,
Development and implementation of multiple projects within Institutes which represent an integral unit of the University, such as Institute of Ecology and Technology, Institute of Albanian Language anBagheriure "Josif Bageri" etc. Intensive connection with European educational and research programs (TEMPUS, DAAD, USAID, SOROS, NATO, EU, Embassies of different countries) are priorities drawn up with the University Strategy.
Dispersion of study programs in other cities, a process that will be compatible with those of high schools, with the sole purpose for the studies to be closer to the students.
The work and achievement level of the work done so far makes us feel proud and more vigilant in undertaking activities that will orient the University toward new academic institutions. The Rectorate and the academic staff, first of all, bear historical responsibility for creating new systems of values, especially in education, science and culture which repres
The State University of Tetova last year marked the 17th anniversary of its academic activity. On this occasion, we disclosed the successes and achievements in the field of education, science, and university activity.
We bow in deep respect before all the students, teachers, assistants, who in 1994 founded this University, as the leading promoter of free-thinking and scientific activities, who during these years, in desks, laboratories and auditoriums of this University made their most beautiful dreams come true, the big university dream of light and knowledge, contributing to the development of our society.
Our University has consistently achieved significant results in all fields. Thus we consider that it has fulfilled its primary mission, preparing the new professional staff for the overall development of our society.
The State University of Tetova is an institution with established educational tradition and is carrying out its activity in two cycles of study, undergraduate and master studies, almost in all faculties and study programs, where over 16 thousand full-time and part-time students attend the undergraduate studies. Over 1000 students attend the second cycle of studies or postgraduate studies.
Regarding the enrollment of new students, their number is increasing each year, and it is worth noting that in the academic year 2011/2012 were met 95 percent of the seats anticipated, and in the auditoriums of SUT this academic year will sit more than 4,500 new students, most of whom study under state quota.
