Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje - UKIM
speciality: Computer Science

The IT department at Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering (FINKI) offers a very good learning experience, especially through the lab exercises. The labs are well organized, practical, and helpful for understanding the theoretical concepts taught during lectures. Students get the chance to work on real programming tasks and improve their problem-solving skills step by step.

The professors and teaching assistants are supportive and usually available when students need help. The curriculum is modern and covers many important areas in computer science, including programming, databases, networks, and software development. The atmosphere is motivating, and students are encouraged to think creatively and work in teams.

Overall, the IT program at FINKI is a great choice for anyone interested in technology and programming because it combines strong theoretical knowledge with useful hands-on practice.

Our university offers some job opportunities, but soft skills development still needs improvement. More workshops and career guidance would better prepare students for the job market ahead, also on the university, more attention should be paid attention for students needs for the future.

It has all the basic things operationally needed for a university to have, however generally it falls short on specific quality of life for students. The program takes a long time to be updated and there are issues with social opportunities for students

The situation of the faculty it’s okay. The students can be part of NGOs, where they can learn topics that are not in relation with this faculty. Lessons are okay, and the faculty did a good job with the transition from classes in campus to full online classes. Also the programs are old and need to be improved.

The program is rich with all sorts of possibilities that would help you throughout your career and your life. It gives the students to show their talents and their potentials to make the best of themselves.

UKIM – SS. Cyril and Methodius is one of the state universities in Macedonia. It has a lot of various faculties and offers a broad choice of courses and degrees for students. The university’s campus is spread across the whole capital Skopje. I study on the technical campus of the university and it is in a very good position and the campus itself is really great and modern-like. The professors are all with a lot of experience and they offer great knowledge and help all the time to the students. My experience so far is very good and I’m happy to study in this university.

I attend the faculty for computer science and engineering, the biggest faculty in the whole country. Yet, we do not have a building. How is that even possible? We have to share building with other faculties and hold our lessons in makeshift/temporary buildings (which we have been using for over 10 years, not really temporary).

The best, highest quality and most renowned university in the country. A university that offers multiple student programs. Professors are quality academics who have vast knowledge in their field and use world literature in the transfer of knowledge. UKIM cooperates with student organizations, as well as with international organizations and various other collaborations. Through them, the doors are opened for the students after graduation.

I especially like the opportunities for students to activate themselves in student NGOs dealing with all sorts of topics. The quality of the delivered lessons is pretty good, the best in the country, but when compared to international standards it is more like mediocre. The programs are usually directed to more general knowledge of the topics instead of very specific knowledge which can make you a specialist. Also, the facilities aren’t in the best shape but some of the laboratories are well equipped.

During these online times all of the faculties have adjusted in their own ways so there’s not much that can be said about the adjustment of the University as a whole.

It’s the best university in Macedonia, but I would not recommend it, especially if you can afford studies in another country. Our faculty do not have a building and faculties with very few students got their own building.
