Competence@University of Prishtina
(CUP) is a follow-up of a Tempus project “Competence” that has been implemented
in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia since 2009. CUP
addresses the missing link between HE and economy in Kosovo and it aims at developing
and / or advancing procedures and tools for assessing and improving the match
between competences developed by institutions of higher education and those
required by the labour market in Kosovo.
Fostering and Developing the Quality Culture at the University of Prishtina

prerequisite for a functioning and lasting quality assurance system
within the University of Prishtina.
KIKT addresses the link between higher education and economy and focuses on the one hand on capacity building in research and innovation and on the other hand on curriculum development.
PhD in Food & Technology & Creating Capacities for PhD Reform at the University of Pristina/Kosovo
The Project aims at
supporting curricula reform and capacity building at the University of
Prishtina (UP) with active involvement of the Ministry of Education, the Kosovo
Accreditation Agency and Student Unions in Kosovo. It focuses on reforming PhD
curricula in line with the Bologna
process and European standards, thus supporting the integration of Kosovo into
the European Higher Education Area.
Support to Reforms of Higher Education
The "Support to Reforms of Higher Education" programs, financed by the Austrian Development Cooperation, aim at reforming the Higher Education Systems in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo and Serbia with the help of various measures (sub components). These sub components are in some cases the same for all 4 different countries, in other cases they are tailor made for the specific Higher Education Systems of each individual country. Below you can find the different subcomponents listed according to their target area.
The main objective of the project is to establish and/or strengthen the Quality Assurance Systems at ten Private Higher Education Institutions in Kosovo. The objectives of the project currently represent a top priority for Kosovo, more specifically for the Ministry of Education Science and Technology. Strengthening the QA systems at these universities will significantly contribute to improvements in teaching and learning opportunities and administrative processes. Self-assessment procedures, establishing of a QA structure (including personnel), regular activities (e.g. Quality Assurance Day) and awareness raising constitute the core of the project.
