What Univerzitet u Prištini does

Univerzitet u Prištini (University of Priština), legally operating as Univerzitet u Prištini sa privremenim sedištem u Kosovskoj Mitrovici (University of Priština with temporary seat in Kosovska Mitrovica), is a public higher education institution established in 1970 and operating under the Republic of Serbia's educational system. Since 1999 it has been based in Kosovska Mitrovica due to the political situation in Kosovo and Metohija. It is accredited by the National Body for Accreditation and Quality Assurance (NAT) and is a member of the Conference of Universities of Serbia.

The university comprises 10 faculties spanning economics, medicine, agriculture, law, natural sciences, teacher education, sports, technical sciences, arts, and philosophy, delivering 103 accredited study programs (39 undergraduate academic, 4 vocational, 2 integrated, 41 master's, 16 doctoral, and 1 specialist) to approximately 9,000 students. Its workforce consists of 794 teaching staff and 368 administrative and professional personnel. The institution runs an e-learning platform (elearning.pr.ac.rs), an academic computer network, an Open Science repository, a Career Development Center, and an alumni platform, and participates in multiple Erasmus+ projects (WBNET, SPHERE, NEST4WB, K2W, AL4LIFE, DIGSTEM, RES-UNI, UPRUN, PROBLEMS, PELMOB, DGTRANS, SMARTEL) with European partners.

The business model is a public-sector subscription model: nearly all operating revenue derives from state budget allocations through the Republic of Serbia Ministry of Education, supplemented by EU-funded Erasmus+ project grants and tuition regulated by national education policy. The core customer base is domestic students from Kosovo and Metohija seeking Serbian-language higher education, with an additional international student segment served through Erasmus+ mobility. The institution has no shareholders, is not investor-backed, and functions as a non-profit state entity.
