Project description

The Project aims at supporting curricula reform and capacity building at the University of Prishtina (UP) with active involvement of the Ministry of Education, the Kosovo Accreditation Agency and Student Unions in Kosovo. It focuses on reforming PhD curricula in line with the Bologna process and European standards, thus supporting the integration of Kosovo into the European Higher Education Area.

The project consists of two specific objectives:

1) To develop, accredit and implement the study program “PhD in Food Science and Food Technology” at the UP.

2) To bring the current institutional PhD structure and processes at the UP in line with Bologna requirements and recent trends in this field as a basis for curricula reform.
