Faculty of Contemporary Social Sciences

The Faculty of Contemporary Social Sciences was established in 2001 as a unique and first department in this academic discipline in the Republic of Macedonia and in the region. The mission of the Faculty is to prepare future leaders mainly for government institutions as well as for non-governmental organizations. Our programmes link theory with practice as one of the most important conditions of acquiring skills, knowledge, and abilities necessary for a successful carrier in public administration. During three years of studies, students of the Faculty of Contemporary Social Sciences will gain knowledge in public management, law, economics, quantitative methods, research skills, effective communication, and gain values in managing within a diverse public environment. Graduates will be able to contribute to the creation, implementation, and evaluation of public policies for the good of society.  

The Faculty of Contemporary Social Sciences is actively involved in international academic cooperation with universities and institutes namely, the Institute of Public Administration ENA (Paris), Spaer School (Germany), University of Pittsburgh, Indiana University, and Appalachian University (USA). All academic cooperation enables exchange of academic staff and students with the organization of scientific and professional meetings, conferences, seminars, and publications.

We constantly re-examine our study programs in accordance with the changing needs of the labour market in the Republic of North Macedonia and in the region.
