Statement of AAB Rector Dr. Uros Lipuscek
The newborn Republic of Kosova is undergoing dramatic changes. Precondition for its successful development and European integration are very motivated and highly educated people, especially the young generation.
The mission of AAB University is therefore the continued provision of highly qualified professionals in the various fields.
Our primary goals in this direction are the following:
The continued improvement and quality assurance of our educational process. This aims should be achieved with the employment of our own full time professional staff as much as possible.
The high sustainable employability of our graduates and relevance of our programs to the Kosova and international labour market.
Values connected to human rights, non-discrimination, gender equality, multi cultural and multi ethnics dialogue, national identity, tradition, and respect for Albanian standard language, must be integral part of our educational process.
In order to equip graduates with specialized knowledge and competencies of vital importance to our society, we should follow the Bologna process o high education.
The respect for European Qualifications Framework for higher education in accordance of the Bologna process, will result in international recognition of degrees issued by AAB University.
Intercultural experiences and multilingual competencies of our graduates (English courses must become obligatory for the all Faculties) will enhance their employability on a European scale and will contribute to a democratic and tolerant society .
Even as a private University we must open our doors to a larger group of learners in order to make higher education more equally accessible to all students, regardless to their social and economic background. .
In order to become part of European educational system we must joined European University associations an enlarge our cooperation and exchange of scholars and students with the foreign universities.
Additional to the education and teaching, we have to promote the research and applied research at the university.
These are some of my most important goals we have to achieve in the next three years term. By then we have to become the top academic institution not only in Kosova but in the whole western Balkan area. I count on your support.

Dr. Uros Lipuscek
