UEJL bëhet pjesë e Aleancës Evropiane për Etikë Akademike
Universiteti i Evropës Juglindore (UEJL) është bërë zyrtarisht pjesë e Ethos Universitas, një iniciativë e bazuar në vlera dhe e zhvilluar brenda Hapësirës Evropiane të Arsimit të Lartë (në kuadër të Procesit të Bolonjës), me synimin për të ndërtuar një rrjet institucionesh të arsimit të lartë që veprojnë si shembuj etikë në komunitetet e tyre dhe më gjerë.
Institucionet njihen përmes një Anëtarësisë së Nderit, e cila simbolizon përkushtimin e tyre ndaj krijimit të një kulture të transparencës, drejtësisë dhe respektit në akademi.
Duke iu bashkuar kësaj aleance, UEJL forcon më tej profilin e tij si universitet i mbështetur në parime etike dhe i përkushtuar ndaj përparimit të arsimit përmes besimit, bashkëpunimit dhe qytetarisë së përgjegjshme.
UEJL do të vazhdojë të promovojë në mënyrë aktive etikën akademike, jo vetëm brenda institucionit të vet, por edhe përmes bashkëpunimeve dhe partneriteteve në mbarë Evropën dhe komunitetin më të gjerë akademik global.

Универзитетот на Југоисточна Европа (УЈИЕ) официјално стана дел од Ethos Universitas, иницијатива заснована на вредности, развиена во рамки на Европскиот простор за високо образование (во рамките Болоњскиот процес), со цел создавање мрежа на високообразовни институции кои дејствуваат како етички примери во своите заедници и пошироко.

SEEU Contributes to European Research on ECTS with Focus Group at Skopje Campus

Skopje, May 21, 2025

South East European University (SEEU) successfully hosted a focus group discussion on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, at its Skopje Campus Meeting Room, contributing to a Europe-wide initiative to revise the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) Users' Guide.

The event, held from 10:00 to 12:00, was organized by the research and consultancy firm ICF S.A., which has been commissioned by the European Commission to gather insights from higher education institutions across Europe.

Participants in the focus group included academic staff, administrative professionals, and students, who engaged in meaningful discussions about the current use, practices, and challenges related to ECTS. The session placed particular emphasis on evolving trends in higher education such as micro-credentials, blended learning, and student mobility, and how these are impacting credit recognition and accumulation systems across Europe.

The discussion took place in a collaborative and inclusive environment, allowing all participants to freely share their experiences, perspectives, and suggestions. Their contributions will directly support the drafting of recommendations for an updated version of the ECTS Users' Guide, which is scheduled to be presented to the Bologna Follow-Up Group later this year.

In addition to the in-person discussion, participants were also invited to complete an online survey to further inform the research. All data collected during this process is being handled in accordance with strict privacy standards provided in the project’s official privacy statement.

SEEU’s involvement in this initiative highlights its active role in shaping European education policies and its commitment to enhancing academic standards and student mobility through meaningful international collaboration.

SEEU Hosts Informative Session on Fulbright Program Scholarships

May 15, 2025 – South East European University, Tetovo

Students at South East European University (SEEU) had the opportunity to explore one of the most prestigious academic exchange programs in the world during an informative session on the Fulbright Program, held on Thursday, May 15 at the university’s Business Development Center.

The session, which began at 13:00 in the Conference Hall, was organized by SEEU’s International Relations Office in collaboration with the U.S. Embassy. The event drew a large number of students interested in pursuing academic and research opportunities in the United States.

Representatives from the U.S. Embassy delivered a comprehensive presentation on the Fulbright Program, outlining its goals, eligibility criteria, and the application process. They also shared success stories and personal experiences of former Fulbright scholars, offering students a clear understanding of what it means to be part of this distinguished program.

The Fulbright Program, sponsored by the U.S. government, provides scholarships for graduate study, research, and teaching assistantships at leading institutions across the United States. It aims to foster mutual understanding between nations through educational and cultural exchange.

During the session, students were encouraged to ask questions and engage with embassy representatives to better understand how they could benefit from the Fulbright experience. Attendees were particularly interested in tips for preparing competitive applications and learning about the variety of academic fields supported by the program.

The event underscored SEEU’s commitment to promoting global educational opportunities and strengthening international partnerships that enrich the academic and professional paths of its students.

What do international students think about SEEU?

As an ELT student from Medipol University in Istanbul, I was both excited and a little concerned upon my arrival in North Macedonia for the Erasmus exchange program at the Faculty of Languages, Cultures, and Communication, Department of English Language and Literature.
I had never been to North Macedonia, even abroad before, so I wasn't sure what I should expect. However, I was warmly welcomed by the International Relations officer, who guided me to the faculty. I had the pleasure of meeting Professor Shpresa Hasani here, and I felt welcomed right away thanks to her amazing character and positive mood. Once I settled in my dorm and received my schedule,
I started attending my lectures. I gained the confidence to put the many new things I learned into practice, and I truly enjoyed every class. The students in my classes were extremely hospitable and always ready to help. I would highly recommend this university
to anyone seeking a creative and interactive learning experience, along with a vibrant campus life.
Thanks to this amazing Erasmus experience, I had the chance to visit two countries by myself. One suggestion I would make is to add more organized social activities and trips for international students outside of the classroom.
