2.2. Rationale of the programme for the labour market
The English Language and Literature Programme of the Faculty of Philology at the University of
Prizren "Ukshin Hoti", is designed to meet the needs of the labour market and anticipate trends
of development. Today, a good command of English is necessary for almost every job in our
country. Our programme addresses the expanded need for English teachers, English proficiency
in administrative work, and need for highly skilled translators.
Not only the region of Prizren, but the entire country of Kosovo lacks highly qualified
professionals to teach English in primary and secondary education, as well as higher education.
Piloting Kosovo’s new policy of mandating English instruction from the first grade in
elementary schools has begun. Nation-wide implementation of the policy beyond the pilot study
is suffering from several constraints, one of which is the lack of a sufficient number of English
teachers with appropriate university qualifications, especially those who can fulfill the expanded
need for early years English instruction, as is required by the new policy.
The city of Prizren has a 54-year tradition in the training of teachers. This tradition dates from
the establishment in 1962 of the Higher Pedagogical School, "Xhevdet Doda," the second oldest
center of Higher Educational Studies in Kosovo, after the one in Prishtina which was established
in 1957. the Pedagogical School started with four programmes, including English Language and
Literature. This half-century teaching legacy has created many of English teachers who spread
the knowledge of the English language in primary and middle schools for many years, but due to
Kosovo’s priority on English language instruction, even more teachers are needed. Therefore,
this programme is a continuation of the teaching tradition that has its sound roots in academic
quality and responsibility.
Only two public universities currently offer Bachelor studies in English Language and Literature
in our country, resulting in fierce competition for admission. Our programme is unique and
attracts a large number of candidates from all over Kosovo. During the last three years, the high
demand competition for enrollment in the programme resulted in a 15% admission rate.
Considering our half-century of instructional experience, the high demand for our programme,
and the urgent immediate need for additional qualified teachers for employment, Prizren’s
English Language and Literature Programme is of particular importance. It should be noted also
that there are a large number of unqualified teachers in primary, secondary and higher education
who do not have the minimal required qualifications nor specialisation to teach English.
Besides teaching, proficiency in the English language is an essential criterion for administrative
staff to serve at the local level, in government or abroad in consulates, in particular during the
process of integration into the European Union and membership in international organizations
and agencies.
Our programme is also very attractive to translators and interpreters working in international
missions and embassies in our country. Our goal is that students not only obtain a high level of
proficiency in English but also become acquainted with Anglophone culture, history, civilization,
economic and international development trends.
Self Evaluation Report – University of Prizren “Ukshin Hoti” - 2017

Prizren is a multicultural and multiethnic city which has facilitated a keen interest in studying
English. Among other things, the recent tourist influx, has increased the need for more English
speakers as English has become universal. An indirect impact on economic development in the
region also is aided by a widespread ability to communicate in English.
2.3. International comparability of the programme
Contents of the study programme in English Language and Literature is comparable to BA
programmes of English studies as a foreign language both inside and outside anglophone
countries. The programme is comparable to the study programmes of English as a Foreign
Language at the University of Zagreb, University of Ljubljana, University of Iowa, University of
Tirana and Marmara and Boğaziçi universities.
2.4 Target group to whom the programme is dedicated
Given that English is the common thread for each field, our programme is dedicated to all those
who are interested in a career in teaching, translation, local and international institutions, etc.
Graduates of this programme have been employed in multiple fields in jobs that require an
advanced knowledge of English language and culture. Gainful employment available for
graduates include work in diplomatic missions abroad in Kosovo embassies, in foreign EU office
missions in Kosovo or any other UN agency, foreign embassies in Kosovo and in various other
arenas in the public sector. The programme is also appropriate for those who decide to become
self-employed in the cultural sector, providing technical or literary translation, events and
conference organization, or work as lecturers, editors and journalists.
2.5 Orientation of the study programme according to the leading principles of the
institution (mission statement)

methodology and organises practical teaching in schools, meeting the requirements of the labour
market for teachers of English in primary, lower secondary and upper secondary schools.
2.7. Expected learning outcomes
The learning goals of this programme are:
- Introduction and familiarisation of English language students with the skills and knowledge
necessary for effective communication in a foreign language;
- Introduction of students to the culture, history, language and literature of the English-speaking
people;
- Preparation for those who plan to continue their language studies in postgraduate programmes
and for those who plan to engage in many professional fields requiring knowledge of a foreign
language;
- Theoretical knowledge of applied linguistics in English;
- Ability to use modern methods and techniques in language teaching;
- Translation skills;
- Ability to design and conduct a research study culminating in a written thesis / dissertation.
This programme aims to provide students with core competencies in English language and
literature including general linguistics, linguistic skills, literature, didactics of English as a
foreign language, English and American civilization, translation, etc.
Additional courses, classified as obligatory or elective, further enhance and increase students'
knowledge and skills in learning the English language and also help them prepare for further
postgraduate studies.
Potential employers of graduates are elementary, middle and high schools in all Kosovo, local or
international institutions and organizations, diplomatic missions and consular offices, foreign
embassies, international missions; other graduates may study or work abroad.
2.8. Relation between the theoretical and practical / experimental part of study
In order for students to be more prepared for modern requirements, this programme offers them
English language modules in a variety of fields in order to expand their knowledge and skills and
become competitive in the labour market. These regulations reflect the learning activities
organised in modules and assessed in credits that are developed over a period of four years.
Self Evaluation Report – University of Prizren “Ukshin Hoti” - 2017
19
The programme provides a total of 33 obligatory exams plus the graduation thesis. Twenty
exams are offered as elective, 3 elective courses in semester I, II, III, IV, V and VI, and 4
elective courses in semester VII and VIII. Examinations will be conducted in the form the final
assessment, as integrated exams, seminars, projects, research studies/cases, presentations, essays,
or coordinated modules.
2.9. ECTS calculation
We offer full-time studies in our programme. Lectures are offered during two semesters lasting
15 weeks each (winter semester from 1 October to 15 January, the summer semester from 16
February to 31 May).
The BA programme on English Language and Literature lasts 8 semesters. By the end of the
studies, a student must accumulate 240 ECTS. These ECTS credits are accumulated from
obligatory and elective courses. The student has an average of 21 hours per week, while the
overall workload per semester contains around 750 hours (contact hours: 315, others include
independent student work in research, projects, assignments, presentations, seminars, etc.). This
work load of 750 hours corresponds to 30 ECTS per semester (1 ECTS = 25 hours).
Bachelor studies conclude with successful defense of a thesis.
2.10. Practical work - internship
The University of Prizren has formal agreements with all public schools which ensures that
students can do their practice in all public schools. The practical work programme for students of
English Language and Literature is very important and necessary as their preparation is first
educational and later scientific.
2.11. Research plan for the study programme under evaluation
Given the current state of education in Kosovo, this programme undertakes the initiative in
providing assistance to improve the quality of education in our country. This programme will
establish a leading group of academic researchers who will teach English as well as provide
resources and support for the betterment of the public sector.
For example, faculty knowledge and research can provide a public service by critically
examining and improving upon the quality of nationally utilized English language textbooks.
The need to improve the quality of English language is dependent not only on skilled instruction
but also on high quality classroom materials. This specific plan aims to develop in three
directions:
1. Identify linguistic shortcomings of the English language textbook (the series "Exploring
English");
2. Review and develop appropriate (and cost-effective) instructor’s guides for the textbook in
question;
3. Organise training workshops for teachers to use the curricula creatively.

Such an undertaking from our programme, respectively from the University of Prizren, will
facilitate professional collaboration between teaching staff and those university faculty.
Welcomed by both sides, the exchange of ideas and experiences is sure to benefit the educational
system.
Reviews of curricula, normal in the developed world, are rarely conducted in Kosovo
unfortunately. This pioneering plan will encourage a more open and transparent approach to
textbook publication.
Apart from this, in the next three years we plan to conduct research to:
1. determine how much and what types of employment graduates find within one year of
graduation;
2. complete number of English teachers in the public schools and their qualifications—how
many underqualified—how many positions are left unfilled;
3. number of teachers with graduate degrees;
4. survey of hiring needs from potential local employers, etc;
5. what is the demand for English teachers for students with special needs?
The Faculty of Philology with its three departments, Department of Albanian Language and
Literature, Department of English Language and Literature, and Department of German
Language and Literature, organised a two-day scientific conference "The Albanian language and
its relations with other languages", in May 2016, in which around 50 researchers participated.
2.12. Students' registration and admission criteria
Candidates meeting the following may be enrolled in the programme:
- completed 12 or 13 years of elementary and middle level, who have successfully passed state
graduation exam (for applicants from the Republic of Kosovo) and
- have completed secondary education system without state graduation exam, including
candidates from Kosovo and other countries.
Selection of candidates is done based on the following criteria:
- success in high school (maximum 30 points)

The course description
and objective:
This basic course provides students with socio-historical and sub
discipline-oriented insights into the how and why of studying
language in general and the specifics of English in particular as a
contemporary world phenomenon. It underscores the study of
language as an object of linguistic research and exciting sphere
of human knowledge.
The course outline follows the primary textbook (Linguistics, an
Introduction to Language and Communication) closely, which is
designed to cover two elements of linguistics. First, we will deal
with aspects of the structure of human language. This falls under
the term of structural linguistics, and relates to the “system” of
the language including the basics of morphology,
phonology/phonetics, and syntax.
Secondly, we will discuss communication in society, that is the
actual realization of language speech beyond the study of
English (or human language for that matter) as a structural
subject. The questions raised here are “How do people use
language to communicate,” and “How is this knowledge
represented in and utilized in society in general, and in the
society we live in specifically (Kosovo)?
Expected results:
Introduction to Linguistics course, will:
- Introduce students to the historical development of
linguistics as a science, built on real ideas of linguistic
studies.
- Stimulate curiosity about language, what it reveals about
the human mind, and the human cultures it reflects.
- Increase ability in critical thinking, analysis, problem-

solving, hypothesis formulation and evaluation, and
written expression.
Upon successful completion, students will be able to:
- Recognize the most important directions of linguistics,
- Apply their knowledge in English, but also in possible
contrastive studies of English and Albanian,
- Understand and work with the basic concepts and
methodologies of linguistic science.
- Discuss language issues in an informed way with both
linguists and non-linguists.

Course Description and
objectives
(Competence)
Albanian Language I course design aims at the development of
students’ receptive and productive skills, both integrating them,
as well as focusing on separate skills in turn. Apart from
strategies and techniques for the development of language skills
(listening, speaking, reading, translation and writing in Albanian
language standard), the course will foster the development of
students’ study and language learning skills. In addition,
structures and vocabulary will be incorporated into
communicative tasks undertaken within the scope of the course,
focusing on usage rather than form. Additional component of the
course will be the development of students’ ability in using
sources and resources in order to improve their language learning
and studying skills. The course will lead students from level A2
to B1 of CEFR. Albanian Morphology course (The basic system
of Albanian Grammar and Word-formation) is a description and,
to some extent, an explanatory account of the grammatical
system of modem Albanian structure, with special emphasis on
the basic grammatical units. Students will also be introduced to
major Albanian word-formation processes, as an independent
part of Albanian Grammar, because it is widely accepted that its
study plays an important role in language learning. After
analyzing unfamiliar words students will find them much easier
to remember them, since word bases, prefixes, suffixes and
compound is an excellent mnemonic device.

The language described is contemporary standard of Albanian
language. To ensure active acquisition of theatrical knowledge,
various tasks and exercises are selected from various
contemporary Albanian grammar books. Exercises will give after
every lecture, in order to illustrate grammar rules by examples
which are characteristic and natural. Grammar examples are
descriptions of how Albanian words; i.e. they are a guide to help
students understand the language, not rules to be memorized.

The course description
and objective:
The “German language” course provides students with
instruction on German grammar which will be used during
communication, covering topics that will be studied during the
semester. Topics will be chosen based on the book “Schritte
international1”, units 1-3.
The four basic skills of language: listening, speaking, reading
and writing, but also grammar and vocabulary from the topics of
“Schritte international1”, will be developed during exercises.
This book is separated into units which are organized in topics.
Topics are from everyday life. These topics will strengthen the
communication skills of students by learning to respond to
different communicative situations. To develop listening skills,
during the seminar classes (exercises) students will be able to
listen to the CD of the book.
Expected results:
After completing this course, the student will be able to:
-Write different texts by adhering to writing and structural
rules of German;
-To read according to the German language rules and
understand the texts;
-Understand simple conversations and texts;
-Learn vocabulary from the “Schritte international1” book.
-To know the explained grammar from “Schritte
international1”, which serves for the purpose of communication.
7 Teaching methodology:
The course is conducted through a combination of lectures and
seminar classes.
Through the method of conversation – working individually, in
pairs and in groups. Taking into consideration that the newest
teaching methods are based on the principle of communication,
this is how the classes will be organized. The book is also based
on the same principle. Therefore, the teaching method is student-
centered, where they will always be engaged in conversation.
During the seminar classes (exercise hours), there will be a
different book, where the students will put their knowledge from
the lectures into writing and completing the exercises.

The course description
and objective:
The purpose of the course is to explain how English is
pronounced in the accent normally chosen as the standard for
people learning the English spoken in England. Apart from this,
the course presents information in the context of a general
theory about speech sounds and how they are used in language,
which is known as Phonetics and Phonology.
Students learn about the basics of general phonetics (speech
organs, articulation, auditory perception, acoustic phonetics and
instrumental analysis of speech) and phonology (understanding
of the concepts 'allophone" and 'phoneme"; distinctive features,
syllable structure).
Students become familiar with phonemic and phonetic
transcription. Analysis of individual English vowels and
consonants (with explanation of the main differences between
standard British and American pronunciation, and differences
between the English and Albanian sound systems) is followed by
an overview of interactions between individual sounds (voicing,
assimilation, elision) and of phonotactics (combinations of
sounds in syllable, consonantal clusters)

The course
description and
objective:
“Understanding Fiction” is designed on the assumption that the student
can best be brought to an appreciation of the more broadly human
values implicit in fiction by a course of study which aims at the close
analytical and interpretative reading of concrete examples. Further, the
understanding of the functions of the various elements which go to
make up fiction will lead to an understanding of their relationships to
each other in the whole construct. The course is aimed at acquainting
the student with a selection of masterpieces of fiction. The emphasis
will be on pleasures and subtlety of the details and narrative artistry
contained in the novels and short stories. The course is less a historical
survey than an intense appreciation of individual works of art.
Expected results:
Students will be able to
a) analyze and discuss fiction, understanding and appreciating
important themes and concerns of the writers and understanding;
b) appreciate the range, quality, and diversity of style in fiction.
c) identify, define, and describe the elements of fiction, such as
narrator, setting, plot, etc.
d) examine the interrelation between society and fiction;
e) familiarize themselves with various critical approaches to fiction.

The course description
and objective:
The course provides a concise introduction to the poetry of
Elizabethan and Stuart England (1558–1649). It is aimed chiefly
at undergraduate students taking courses on sixteenth and
seventeenth- century English literature (poetry).
Self Evaluation Report – University of Prizren “Ukshin Hoti” - 2017

The beginnings of what we now describe as ‘Renaissance’ or
‘Early Modern’ English literature precede the accession of
Elizabeth I (1558), but Renaissance literary culture only became
firmly established in England in the second half of the sixteenth
century. Similarly, while the literature produced between 1649
and the Restoration of the Monarchy (1660) could be said to
belong to the Renaissance, the unusual historical context in
which it was produced, marks the Interregnum as a distinctive
literary era.
Expected results:
Upon the completion of this course students will have acquired
basic understanding of the Renaissance culture and poetry; will
be able to consolidate their knowledge of the period’s literature.
7 Teaching methodology: Lectures, seminars, tests, presentations, final exam
8 Evaluation methods
and criteria:

The course
description and
objective:
The course explores distinctive features of a singular form of writing,
focusing on the elements of drama: plot and structure, character,
theme(s), setting, tone, etc. in concrete works of art. Drama is written
primarily to be performed – by actors, on a stage, for an audience. But is
also literature that can be read. In some respects reading drama is similar
to reading fiction. The course will explore drama on page rather than on
stage. Fiction has a mediator (narrator) – someone standing between the
reader and the events to help readers relate to characters, actions and
meanings – whereas drama has only a few stage directions. Therefore,
Self Evaluation Report – University of Prizren “Ukshin Hoti” - 2017
69
reading drama may place a greater demand on the imagination than
reading fiction does: the reader must be his or her own narrator and
interpreter. Drama has affinities with poetry too. Plays may in fact be
written in verse; Shakespeare is an example.
Expected results:
The student will be
a) able to appreciate drama as a distinct form, which has affinities
with both fiction and poetry;
b) better prepared to use his imagination to make sense of the plot,
which is unmediated;
c) able to appreciate the representative (mimetic) character of this
form of writing for the stage and page.
d) equipped to enhance their writing and analytical skills.

The course description
and objective:
This course studies a number of Shakespeare plays (usually 6) in
relation to the genre they belong to, the theatrical conventions
they employ, and the themes they deal with. The texts of the
Shakespearean plays are considered as sites of cultural
production where certain ways of thinking about the world and
human relationships are endorsed, impeded, or simply set in
conflict. They are thus analyzed not as static entities but in a
dialogue with the era that produced them and with later eras that
consumed them, especially the 20th and early 21st century. The
main objectives of the course are: (1) to enable students to
understand the conditions in which Shakespeare wrote his plays
and (2) to help students relate the plays to the early modern
period and our post-modern times.
Expected results:
Upon the completion of this course students will:
acquire a detailed knowledge of Shakespeare’s works and
world,
understand the relevant dramatic genres,
understand how Shakespeare’s texts have gained their unique
position in English-speaking cultures,
know about the various ways in which Shakespeare and his

works are regarded today,
have a practical understanding of the manner in which
academic discourse on Shakespeare is conducted today.
7 Teaching methodology: Lectures, seminars, tests, presantations, final exam.
8 Evaluation methods
and criteria:
Student performance is evaluated on the basis of written exams,
papers, and oral presentations, which include:
(1) brief, take-home assignments on specific questions and (2)
a comprehensive, essay-type exam at the end of the semester.
Additionally (but optionally) students may choose to give an
oral presentation in class or to write a research paper on an
approved topic. However, the research paper option
CANNOT become a substitute for the final exam, which the
student must pass if the research paper is to be counted in the
final grade. It is noted that the take-home assignments and
participation of students in class discussions play an advisory
role (i.e., they help the instructor to form an opinion about the
student’s abilities), whereas the class presentations, the final
exam, and the research paper (if written), play a definitive
role in the student’s final grade.

The course description
and objective:
Literary phenomena of Romanticism are studied against
the backdrop of socio-political and cultural developments of the
time, so as to examine relationships of literature with major
ideological and cultural trends: the widening of legitimate
subjects of poetry (and of literature, in general, for that matter)
in Romanticism; Nature; the sensibility and the sublime; the
Byronic hero; femininity, domesticity, etc. The multitude of
literary forms and contents (topics and ideas), literary works that
mark the period are singled out for close reading and analysis,
especially works that provide a probing ground for a study of
generic issues, while anticipating modern forms.
Expected results:
1) Students should acquaint themselves with the most
prominent features of English Romanticism (see left-
hand side page);
2) They should be able to contrast and compare English
Romantic literature with European and American
Romanicism. Also Albanian Romanticism.
3) Appreciation of arguably some of the greatest poetic
works in the entire English literary canon (Wordsworth,
Coleridge, Keats).
4) Development of interpretative and research skills.
7 Teaching methodology:
Both lectures and seminar classes. Since the bulk of the course
consists of densely rich poetry, students are expected to have
done a lot of essential reading beforehand, so that close reading
and re-reading takes place in the classroom, wherein an
inquisitive mind and a spirit of debate are encouraged.

and criteria:
Assessment will be done based on learning outcomes,

2.2 Research-based rationale of the Programme’s need within the labour market
The Republic of Kosovo needs qualified professionals for teaching Albanian language for elementary and secondary schools, and colleges. Albanian language is taught from the first grade in primary
schools. In accordance with the present situation, there is a need for qualified teachers.
The Albanian Language and Literature programme is unique in content and attracts a large number of candidates from the region of Prizren and it is worth noting that during the past three years the
competition for enrolment in this programme has increased. It should be noted that there are also other
public universities that currently offer studies on Albanian Language and Literature at the Bachelor
level in our country.
Besides the need for teaching and professional development with a view to employment, the
programme is of particular importance since there is a need for qualified staff to fulfil and enhance the level of teaching quality of Albanian Language and Literature.
It should be noted also that there are a large number of teachers in primary, secondary and higher education who do not have the appropriate qualification level in Albanian Language and Literature
and do not have abundant knowledge for quality teaching, because they studied during difficult times
of Kosovo, where lessons were attended outside schools/universities, and did not acquire sufficient
knowledge, information and practical experience of teaching methodology.
Besides teaching, the Albanian language is essential for gaining the culture of communication of
future teachers and those who may serve at the local level of administration, government, and consular inside and abroad.
Our programme is also attractive for those administrative clerks who know other foreign languages, as
well as interpreters and translators working in international missions and embassies in our country.
2.3 International comparison of the programme
Contents of the study programme in Albanian Language and Literature is comparable to BA
programmes of study of language and literature in other centers. The programme is comparable to the
Albanian study programmes at the University of Tirana, University of Shkodra, University of Skopje.
2.4 Target group
Given that language is an essential criterion for each field, our programme is dedicated to all those
who are interested in a career in teaching, proofreading, editing and translation in the local and
international institutions, etc. Demand for proofreading and editing in all institutions is huge and care should be increased, and official texts to be proofread in any case.
2.5 The goal and the profile of the study programme
The study programmes are based on the principles of curriculum performance that is based on the guidelines of "Higher Education Law" of the Republic of Kosovo, on legal and administrative
guidelines of the MEST, and mainly supported by the Statute of UPZ. Therefore, applying the
standards of the highest level and always based on the requirements of the Bologna system, this programme will be completed and promises to expand and guarantee quality.
2.6 The goal and the profile of the study programme
- 137 -
The Department of Albanian Language and Literature offers the B.A. programme in Albanian
Language and Literature, which prepares graduates to meet the demands of the workforce and for Master and Ph.D. studies in Albanian Language and Literature.
The main subject area components of the Programme consist of linguistics (structure of language),
theoretical linguistics, written literature in Albanian, history of literature, interpretation of literature, history of language, concepts and research methods of linguistics and literature, translation theory and
practice, educational leadership, discourse analysis, methodology of teaching Albanian, etc.
The Department of Albanian Language and Literature also offers courses in language teaching
methodology and organises practical teaching in schools, meeting the requirements of the labour
market for teachers of Albanian in primary, lower secondary and upper secondary schools.
2.7 The expected learning results The learning goals of this programme are:
- Introduction of students to the culture, history, language and literature of the Albanian people;
- Introduction and familiarisation of Albanian language students with the skills and knowledge
necessary for effective communication;
- Preparation for those who plan to continue their language studies in postgraduate programmes and
for those who plan to engage in many professional fields requiring knowledge of Albanian language;
- Theoretical knowledge of applied linguistics;
- Ability to use modern methods and techniques in language teaching;
- Ability to design and conduct a research study culminating in a written thesis / dissertation.
This programme aims to provide students with core competencies in Albanian language and literature
including general linguistics, linguistic skills, literature, didactics of Albanian language, Albanian civilisation, Phonetics, Morphology, Syntax and lexicology, dialectology, Indo-European linguistics,
Albanian language stylistics, Old literature, Romanticism, Modern literature, Literary critics.
Additional courses, classified as obligatory or elective, further enhance and increase students' knowledge and skills in learning the Albanian language and also help them prepare for further
postgraduate studies.
The goal of the programme is prepare students in the field of linguistics and Albanian literature.
Potential employers of graduates are elementary, middle and high schools in all Kosovo, local or
international institutions and organizations, diplomatic missions and consular offices, foreign embassies, international missions; other graduates may study or work abroad, or proofread texts in
Albanian language, etc.
2.8 The relationship between the theoretical and practical / experimental part of study In order for students to be more prepared for modern requirements, this programme offers them the
language modules and literature in various fields in order to expand their knowledge of language and
- 138 -
their ability to become competitive in the market. These regulations reflect the learning activities
organized in modules and assessed in credits that will be developed over a period of four years. The programme provides a total of 55 possible exams and the diploma topics. However, from a
total of 55 exams, the student should be subject only to 47 exams, which will be realized in the final
evaluation forms of knowledge as integrated exams, seminars, presentations, essays, or coordinated
modules.
2.9 Calculation of ECTS credits
We offer full-time studies in our programme. Lectures are offered during two semesters lasting 15
weeks each (winter semester from 1 October to 15 January, the summer semester from 16 February
to 31 May).
The BA programme on Albanian Language and Literature lasts 8 semesters. By the end of the studies,
a student must accumulate 240 ECTS. These ECTS credits are accumulated from obligatory and elective courses. The student has an average of 20-22 hours per week, while the overall workload per
semester contains around 750 hours (contact hours: 326, others include independent student work in
research, projects, assignments, presentations, seminars, etc.). This work load of 750 hours corresponds to 30 ECTS per semester (1 ECTS = 25 hours).
Bachelor studies conclude with successful defense of a thesis.
2.10 Practical work - internship (proven through valid agreements with business
partners)
The University of Prizren has formal agreements with all public schools which ensures that students
can do their practice in all public schools. The practical work programme for students of Albanian Language and Literature is very important and necessary as their preparation is first educational and
later scientific.
2.11. Research plan for the study programme under evaluation
Given the current state of education in Kosovo, this programme undertakes the initiative in providing assistance to improve the quality of education in our country. This programme will establish a leading
group of academic researchers who will teach Albanian language as well as provide resources and
support for the betterment of the public sector.
For example, faculty knowledge and research can provide a public service by critically examining
and improving upon the quality of nationally utilized Albanian language textbooks. The need to
improve the quality of Albanian language is dependent not only on skilled instruction but also on high quality classroom materials. This specific plan aims to develop in three directions:
1. Identify shortcomings of the Albanian language textbook; 2. Review and develop appropriate (and cost-effective) instructor’s guides for the textbook in
question;
3. Organise training workshops for teachers to use the curricula creatively.
Such an undertaking from our programme, respectively from the University of Prizren, will facilitate
professional collaboration between teaching staff and those university faculty. Welcomed by both
sides, the exchange of ideas and experiences is sure to benefit the educational system. Reviews of curricula, normal in the developed world, are rarely conducted in Kosovo unfortunately.
This pioneering plan will encourage a more open and transparent approach to textbook publication.
Apart from this, in the next three years we plan to conduct research to:
- 139 -
1. determine how much and what types of employment graduates find within one year of graduation; 2. complete number of Albanian language teachers in the public schools and their qualifications—
how many underqualified—how many positions are left unfilled;
3. number of teachers with graduate degrees;
4. survey of hiring needs from potential local employers, etc; 5. what is the demand for Albanian language teachers for students with special needs?
The Faculty of Philology with its three departments, Department of Albanian Language and Literature, Department of English Language and Literature, and Department of German Language and
Literature, organised a two-day scientific conference "The Albanian language and its relations with
other languages", in May 2016, in which around 50 researchers participated.
2.12 Enrollment and admission
Candidates meeting the following may be enrolled in the programme:
- completed 12 or 13 years of elementary and middle level, who have successfully passed state
graduation exam (for applicants from the Republic of Kosovo) and
- have completed secondary education system without state graduation exam, including candidates from Kosovo and other countries.
Selection of candidates is done based on the following criteria:
- success in high school (maximum 30 points)
- success in state graduation exam (maximum 30 points)
- success in the entry examination (maximum 40 points)
Candidates who have completed the secondary school system without school graduation exam,
including candidates from other countries, receive maximum 30 points from high school success,

Course Description and
objectives(Competence)
Albanian Morphology I course (The basic system of Albanian
Grammar and Word-formation) is a description and, to some extent, an explanatory account of the grammatical system of modem Albanian
structure, with special emphasis on the basic grammatical units.
Students will also be introduced to major Albanian word-formation
processes, as an independent part of Albanian Grammar, because it is widely accepted that its study plays an important role in language
learning. After analyzing unfamiliar words students will find them
much easier to remember them, since word bases, prefixes, suffixes and compound is an excellent mnemonic device.
The language described is contemporary standard Albanian. To ensure
active acquisition of theatrical knowledge, various tasks and exercises
are selected from various contemporary Albanian grammar books. Exercises will give after every lecture, in order to illustrate grammar
rules by examples which are characteristic and natural. Grammar
examples are descriptions of how Albanian words; i.e. they are a guide to help students understand the language, not rules to be memorized.

2.2 The rationale for the program
University "Ukshin Hoti" in Prizren offers the following undergraduate programs at
Bachelor: International Management, Business Administration, Law, Design Software,
Information Technology and the German language. We want this year to run the program
with a Masters in Accounting and Auditing. Because now we have the first generation of
graduate students in undergraduate Bachelor program, and they could not pursue post-
graduate studies at the University due to our lack of organization studies at the master's level,
- 202 -

The 2nd cycle masters study of Computer Science and Technologies of Communication is a
two-year programme (4 semesters) with a total load of 120 ECTS credits.
The obtained professional title is: Master of Computer Science and Technologies of
Communication.
2.2. Labour Market
Actually there is no significant market research regarding the labor market relevance of this
study program. However, there is an assessment of the information and communications
technologies (ICT) sector in Kosovo conducted at the request of USAID/Kosovo.
The purpose of this activity was to assess opportunities for USAID to support Kosovo’s ICT
sector. This sector encompasses several areas of business including telecommunications, a
variety of services related to the development, customization and use of software and
hardware and services and products that are delivered via telecommunications (both voice
and data) networks.
The objectives of the assessment were to answer two questions:
Are there parts of the ICT sector in Kosovo that have significant potential for growth
in revenues and employees which could be increased if key constraints were
addressed?
How might USAID efforts to support the ICT sector benefit overall economic growth
in Kosovo?
The team used general factors typically used to identify target business sectors for economic
growth assistance. These factors were then tailored to the ICT sector based on the experience
of other economic growth projects and the characteristics of the sector. The team also used a
SWOT approach throughout the information gathering and analysis, i.e., identifying
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to the sector. Although it is difficult to
separate the ICT sector cleanly into independent sub-sectors, the team generally analyzed the
IT (information technology – meaning work related computer software applications and
hardware) from telecommunications (meaning the provisi
on of voice, data and video services via telecommunications networks, either Internet (IP) or
mobile phone networks).
In Kosovo there are 3 major Internet service providers (ISP) : IPKO, Kujtesa and PTK.
There are also more than ten main ICT companies operating in Kosovo (Gjirafa, Inc,
Comtrade, Komtel, iSoft, Ipko, Rrota, Cactus, ProNet, Rrota, LogicPlus, Microsoft, Kujtesa,
Ati-Kos). It appears that the key constraints for this sector are education and training;
They also come to conclusion that IT combined with the telecommunications sector appears
much stronger than the IT sector alone. They are more optimistic about the potential for this
sector to be competitive, especially when combined with an effort to strengthen the
development of value added services to take advantage of the quickly expanding mobile
phone service networks.

improvements to the telecommunications regulatory capacity; stronger sector
entrepreneurship and business skills. It is well-known that these companies have many gaps
mainly with respect to professional staff. One of the reasons may be found in poor
engineering programs offering from universities currently in Kosovo.
In Kosovo there are some Universities (public and private) which offer the different programs
in Computer Science and Technology. University of Prishtina (Mathematic Faculty and
Technical Faculty) provides two programs mainly software oriented. Technical Faculty
provides also a new program in Mechatronic, but all these programs are only partly similar to
our proposed program.
The main private Universities that provide programs in Computer Science and Technology
are UBT (University for Business and Technology), AAB-Riinvest as well as Iliria. Although
the programs of these Universities are in some relationships with some Universities from
abroad (case UBT), there is no indication of any big achievement regarding the labor market
and society needs. This first of all because the programs do not meet the requirements of
labor market.
According to USAID, Engineering schools in Kosovo may have basics, but far behind
providing tech-skills for work. Based on their analysis the IT Sector alone currently provides
only little potential economic impact but ICT is a promising sector with a great impact on the
future economic development of Kosova. Therefore, this study program aims to provide these
companies and society in general, professional staff in order to make them competitive with
similar European companies and worldwide.

institution
The curriculum of the program is in full accordance with the study regulations and criteria
according to the Bologna system and two semesters has compulsory and complementary
courses, while ECTS credits are divided in accordance to the importance of the subject. The
Master of Science in Computer and Technologies of Communication Program comprises the
total of 120 ECTS credits evenly distributed per semester. 60 credits are the equivalent of a
full year of study, which means that 60 credits are broken down into 30 credits per semester.
Exams are held in written form. Tests can be of two types: some alternatives questions or
answers in essay form, depending on the subject. Tests with several alternative answers
questions. Final test, as another form to complete the assessment of student knowledge are
written evaluations during lectures (colloquium) and seminar work. Colloquiums are
estimates during the lectures through which is followed the work of the student during the
learning process and knowledge acquired over a period of time. Seminars should be
submitted in written or should be presented in class in front of the students. Through them
teacher-student discussion is more open and more critical, enabling the professor to evaluate
the student's study skills and monitor performance of his/her assigned work.

2.1 Preschool Education
Expert’s Recommendations:
1. With regard to the specific focus of the study program I suggest additions in the titles
of the following courses:
• To replace ‘Albanian Language II’ by ‘Albanian Language in Preschool
Education II’
• To replace ‘Mathematics II’ by ‘Mathematics in Preschool Education II’
• To replace ‘English Language II’ by ‘English Language in Preschool
Education II
We already renamed the subjects. Please check the curriculum of the program attached.
2. Add one electable course for auditory and audio-visual media in preschool education
in the study program. An alternative could be to supplement explicitly the aspect of
auditory and audio-visual respectively digital media in the description of some
courses
We already added Digital Media as an elective course in sixth semester, please check the
curriculum.
3. With regard to systematic plausibility the titles of the last two courses have to be
corrected. My Suggestion: ‘Pedagogical Practice III (6 weeks)’ (V/3) and
‘Pedagogical Practice IV (8 weeks)’ (VIII/2).
Already corrected, please check the attached curriculum.
4. Offer three of the six elective courses of the second semester during the first semester.
We edited the curriculum and added elective course in the first semester too.
- 290 -
5. Enable staff members to dedicate more time for research and to establish research
groups.
We will encourage staff members to dedicate more time on research and we will also
establish research groups for different fields of study.
6. Improve international exchange possibilities for the staff as well as for the students
(within the limits of possible)
We applied for exchange of staff and students within ERASMUS+ program with many
partners around Europe. We are waiting for results.
- 291 -
2.2 Primary Education
1. With regard to the specific focus of the study program and the specific future working
field as teacher at Primary School I suggest additions in the titles of the following
courses:
• To replace ‘Albanian Language III’ by ‘Albanian Language in Primary School
III’
• To replace ‘Mathematics II’ by ‘Mathematics in Primary School II’
• To replace ‘English Language II’ by ‘English Language in Primary School II’
We already renamed the subjects. Please check the curriculum of the program attached.
2. I recommend to add one electable course for auditory and audio-visual media in
Primary School. An alternative could be to supplement explicitly the aspect of
auditory and audio-visual respectively digital media in the description of some
courses.
We already added Digital Media as an elective course in sixth semester, please check the
curriculum.
3. I suggest to offer three or four of the elective courses of later semesters (especially V,
VI and VII) during the first semester.
We edited the curriculum and added elective course in the first semester too.
4. UoPz should enable staff members to dedicate more time for research and to establish
research groups.
We will encourage staff members to dedicate more time on research and we will also
establish research groups for different fields of study.
5. Improve international exchange possibilities for the staff as well as for the students
(within the limits of possible)

2.3 Cultural Heritage and Tourism Management
1. Analyze at the next visit the progress made in improving the proportion of staff hired
on permanent basis.
Comment: We will try to improve the proportion of staff hired on permanent basis, but
depends of budgetary strengths.
2. Analyze at the next that at least 50% of the lectures are covered by a teaching
material elaborated according to the syllabus structure.
Comment: Professors are obliged to submit the teaching materials to the students in
accordance to the syllabus structure.
3. Show, at the next visit, that progresses were made in the list of publications for the
staff involved in the study program. A list of publication/ conferences/ studies
published after this year (2016) should be put at the experts’ disposal.
Comment: We agree for much more publications and research in regard of better
implementation of the program.
4. Improve the syllabus to include at least a general theme for the practical
training/exercises/applications or field studies. Provide all the syllabus in English.
Comment: Professors have to refresh and improve their Syllabus in regard of practical part
of the program (internship, study visits, archeological and tourism tours ect). Also
they have to provide Syllabus and in English except in Albanian).
5. Provide to the professors, on individual and confidential basis, a feedback from the
student’s evaluation. Very important is to see that there were progresses made from a
year to other.
Comment: Every semester we did the Professors student’s evaluation, but no any feedback
for the professors. We think that it’s good to build the applicable management policy
and to implement such a policy.

2.4 Forest and Environmental Sciences
Suggestions
1. Modify the curricula according to the advices done at the respective chapter.
2. Enhance conditions for practical trainings, through modification of the syllabus,
concluding contracts/agreements with forest owners or managers for practical
trainings and hire part-time staff with forestry diploma and experience in the field.
3. At the next, teaching material (as elaborated text, collection of dried plants, tree small
branches and fruits, etc.) should be presented.
4. At the next, half of the forestry-related disciplines are covered by an elaborated text
structured according to the detailed syllabus.
Comments
First of all we would like to thank Prof. Dr. Bouriaud Laura for her tremendous contribution
and suggestions about this study program.
After analyzing the comments and suggestions we as a committee fully agree with all of
them.
1. Admission: All corrections are done. Please have a look at the study program
attached.
2. Internship: After accreditation, we will sign agreements with all relevant institutions
in country where our students can conduct their internship. As we already discussed
during your visit, we could not have agreements without having the program.
3. Practical training: All subjects containing the practical exercises are intended to be
realized in laboratories or during experiments, also in the partner universities.
4. Curricula – Study plan: All suggestions for corrections within curriculum and
descriptions of subjects are done. Please have a look at the program attached.
- 296 -
5. In future as recommended there will be material for practice and experiments in labs
(as elaborated text, collection of dried plants, tree small branches and fruits, etc.) and
there will be literature for each and every study course.
6. As you already stated in report, we fulfill the KAA criteria regarding staff, however
after decision for accreditation we will immediately open a call for additional
academic staff.

.
1. More space for elective courses (6 instead of 3) should be provided in the program.
Necessary corrections are done. Number of elective courses are increased from 3 to
6. Please check the curriculum attached to the report.
2. ECTS and corresponding time for B.Sc.-thesis should be increased from 5 to 12.
The number of ECTS for B.Sc. thesis is increased from 5 to 12. During last semester
students will conduct internship and work on thesis.
3. An advisory board of representatives from the labour market should be established to
articulate the requirements of employers concerning knowledge and skills of the
graduates.
We think that establishment of Industrial Advisory Board is very important in
articulating requirements of employers. We will try to establish it as soon as we have
the decision for accreditation of the study program.
