The University of Business and Technology (UBT) is ranked among the top 100 universities in the world. At the European level, UBT is positioned as the second university for access to entrepreneurship, and the 26th place in the world for advances in artificial intelligence. Rector Edmond Hajrizi says that the focus is on scientific work.

During the 2024/2025 academic year, over 3 students were enrolled in this educational institution, with 75 percent of them focused on STEM (science, technology, engineering and management) fields and 25 percent on other fields.

Hajrizi tells KosovaPress that in the past year, UBT has had many benefits from European and international projects in the field of education and research, increase in the number of double degrees, scientific research projects with prestigious institutions from the USA and Europe.

"We have had many benefits from European and international projects, in the field of education and research, there is a greater increase in scientific research projects with prestigious institutions from the USA and from Europe, we have increased the number of double programs, of diplomas double with different universities, mainly with American ones...", says Hajrizi.

According to him, there is still work to be done in Kosovo's higher education, as he says, work must be done on the ranking in science.

UBT also cooperates with the University of Pristina with important projects in the field of ICT, a national doctoral program in the field of information technology and various other projects.

For this year, UBT has applied for several new study programs, in the field of international medicine.

Hajrizi says that the priority of UBT for this year is mainly scientific work.

"Now we will enter the part of re-accreditation, we have applied to receive some new study programs, especially in the doctoral part, in the part of the fields of international medicine, we want, in addition to national accreditations, to have global ones, we also develop them. We are also building some other components of the smart city 2025.
