Globalisation strengthens the connection between companies from all over the world. It is time people understand the importance of international business.
International business degrees are shaped to give students practical knowledge about different business management practices from all over the world. In addition, candidates are prepared for business careers abroad or in organisations that are engaged in business on a global scale.
Moreover, international business is vital in order to understand different cultures and mindsets and ultimately become a global citizen.
A degree in International Business prepares you for a job in a culturally diverse business environment, which means that any graduate can benefit from opportunities in any country.
The advantage of an International Business course is that you are highly employable for most industries since the majority of skills acquired are transferable.
Candidates studying international business will also gain information and insight about the difficulties of starting and growing businesses from different countries, something which is of utmost importance for anyone who wants to make their business thrive.
International Business is usually a three-year commitment, depending on each university. Lately, there are institutions which offer the possibility of having a ‘sandwich course’, which basically enables the candidates to work abroad for one year in the industry, as part of their studies.
The purpose of the ‘sandwich course’ is to encourage students to step outside their comfort zone and work in a different culture and environment. In this way, they will understand other mentalities, as well as gain relevant working experience in the field.
It has a lot of place for improvement in every aspect. It needs to work on it’s facilities and schedules. It desperately needs to fix the heat system and all the classrooms. It lacks a lot when it comes to putting in practise what you been studying and should help it’s students when it comes to finding an internship.
View moreFaculty of economics, university of Tirana, is one of the best university in Albania, that gives to all the opportunity to study economics subjects such as finance, business administration, marketing. It is located in Tirana with great infrastructure. The lessons and books are the same as those in other European countries. Students gain important skills which help them with their future job. The professors are very prepared and qualified not only in our country but even in other universities in Europe or the US. I also like the fact that the voice of students and their problems are listened to by the dean of students.

Overall, this faculty is seven all across the board, in my opinion. Firstly, I would like to highlight the best things in my experience.
1. Literature: books are good, a lot of real-life examples and a lot of study cases, national and international ones.
2. Academic Staff: There are professors really capable of transmitting academic knowledge to students but not only that, I would like to mention some professors that really push their students to know more, that motivate them and try to learn them to open their wings to a world of limitless possibilities
3. Career Activities: there is a yearly showroom (every spring) of different national and international companies (for ex. Deloitte, Vodafone, Intesa Sanpaolo Bank, etc) that come together in the faculty hall to attract best students in their intern programs or to offer jobs to the graduate students.
Now to the negative aspects that pretty much apply to most of the public higher institutions in Albania:
1. Infrastructure: a really weak point actually, investments have been made throughout the years but there are a lot of problems regarding the physical classes, computers, accounting, and informatics laboratories. Also, I would mention the Biblioteca, its space is not enough for an institution of higher education of more than 4000 students, there is a limited number of academic reviews and studies, books available to master and doctorate students.
2. Timeline of classes: being a master’s student is especially hard because there is no flexibility in following lectures and also having a job/internship (part/full time).
3. Price: price-wise, to get a degree is relatively cheap but there is a hard time for students that have really low incomes. Also not to mention the price of the books, especially the ones that come as a translated publishings, that cost more than 2000 ALL on average.
4. Student life: is very poor in activities, all I can think about is ‘the summer school’ and ‘the debate championship’. There are no clubs were different students can come together and share experiences and become good friends (really cold people in general, need some love). I’d like to see more volunteering activities towards the orphanages and maybe helping the community around the campus.
I have good memories of FEUT and there are moments and people that changed my life and that I will never forget. Maybe there things are not perfect but I’ve learned everything around you depends in the way that you see things.
I think that students that graduate in FEUT can easily do well in master programs in European universities.
It is the best faculty of economics in the country. The professors are very prepared and teach very well.The infrastucture is not very good and some of professors aren’t good with students.The voice of students is listened from the structure of faculty.
View moreA very good uni, with good and friendly professors. Feut has an excellent education program. It prepares you for your future job and more. The uni is very big and nice.
I would totally recommend as a good choice for your education.
I would not recommend to any student for bachelor or master programs because it is very expensive, teachers are not communicative, the infrastructure and hygiene or basic necessities like internet are in poor condition, the whole school heating / cooling system is out of service and the secretarial service is impossible and not flexible.
View moreThe University of Tirana is the most reliable and based on meritocracy. There is a well-trained pedagogue. The academic staff consists of the intellectuals of our country. Although there is room for improvement.
View moreThe Faculty of Economics, University of Tirana, is the best faculty in the country in terms of economic direction. 80% of staff are well-qualified, but 20% leave much to be desired. Poor physical conditions.
View moreProfessors are qualified and the lessons worth it but there is a lack of opportunities when it comes to student’s practice. Students need practical skills and more concrete training about specific jobs.
The university should invest more in laboratory and in academic research. Also the literature should be renewed.
Student life is non-existent. Professors are mostly ok but auditors are in very bad shape for the most part. Literature is at least 10 years old and not in coherence with the today reality. Faculty’s website has been non-functional for more than 3 years and no initiatives are taken to acknowledge the problems by the dean or the rector
