What University of Prishtina, Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering does

The Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FIEK) is the engineering and computer science faculty of the University of Prishtina "Hasan Prishtina," a public higher education institution in Pristina, Kosovo. Founded in 1965 with roots in the 1961 Higher Technical School, FIEK delivers three Bologna-cycle programs: a three-year BSc (180 ECTS), a two-year MSc (120 ECTS), and a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering that received national accreditation in 2023 for a five-year term. It serves 2,201 Bachelor students and 216 Master students (2,417 total) through 72 teaching personnel across six departments, supported by 15 administrative and technical staff.

FIEK's core academic infrastructure includes the SEMS student information platform, the VTECH VR/AR Lab (established through Erasmus+), and the Tech2Link industry-academia platform. The faculty operates as a research-active participant in multiple EU-funded programs, including Erasmus+, Horizon 2020, Tempus, COST, ITEM, INTERBA, VTECH, DRIVE, and PhDICTKES, with bilateral academic partnerships spanning Linnaeus University, NTNU, Aalborg University, TU Wien, and Politecnico di Milano. An Industry Advisory Board, comprising IPKO, STIKK, ICK, KOSTT, NLB Bank, Bosch Rexroth, and other major Kosovo employers, anchors industry engagement and graduate placement.

FIEK is government-funded through the University of Prishtina, with tuition essentially free for Kosovo residents. Revenue is supplemented by EU project grants and private-sector donations (notably a BALFIN Group/Neptun Kosovo donation for Room 621). The faculty is currently executing a strategic reform program branded "REFORMA E FIEK-ut 2030," which redesigns curriculum, research priorities, and operations through the end of the decade. The Taiwan-Europe Short-Term Semiconductor Program partnership adds an international semiconductor training track distinct from the standard curriculum.
