About South East European University

University profile

SEEU operates its academic activities from two teaching establishments, the main campus in Tetovo and its newly established campus in the capital city, Skopje.

The main campus of SEEU is built upon the principle – all in one, which enables interactive comprehensiveness between students in all study disciplines. The campus is a model university facility in that it stretches across a large green area and contains purpose-built accommodations. These include: four large lecture halls with the capacity to fit 200 to 500 students, approximately 30 classrooms with a capacity for 30 to 60 students, staff offices, two state-of-the-art computer centers with more than 650 computers, a library and residen­tial accommodations. In addition, there are sev­eral recreational facilities where students can add social activities to their academic experience at SEEU. Recently, the main campus was expanded and added a new Business Education Building and 8 new computer laboratories with 150 computers from the type “Sun thin client” and 50 computers in support of teaching, learning and re­search.

The equipment for teaching is modern, practical and enables optimal services for application and interactive learning.


The SEEU campus in Skopje is not nearly as large as the main campus in Tetovo, but it provides the same essential features that make SEEU such a uniquely modern European university and an excellent and enjoyable place to earn a degree. The campus is located in the heart of the capital city opposite the Italian Embassy.


The SEEU Campus is unique in the region in that certain concepts in the sphere of protection for the environment and ecological system are being taken into consideration. A large part of the Campus (25.000m2) is a green area. About 60 % of the materials that were used during the construction of buildings were with eco-characteristics.


The University uses high quality filtered drinking water from its own resources. At SEEU, we are all dedicated to recycling waste materials. Due to that, we are separating waste and then transporting it to respective factories for processing.
SEEU is constantly investing in the technology for electric power savings.
SEEU also believes in investing in renewable resources. As environmental pollution decreases, this will have positive influence on the development of the economy in the country.

Quality Assurance and Management

At the center of SEEU’s mission are the aims of excellence, equity, transparency and efficiency. The University strives for the highest quality in every faculty and department and sees quality improvement as both an individual and collective responsibility.

Since quality is at the heart of every process that the University undertakes, we are developing a Quality culture by working on both quality assurance and quality management.

Quality assurance focuses on academic matters and teaching and learning and links closely with those services which directly support students, such as the Library, Student Services and Career Center.

Quality management targets the effective development and monitoring of policies and procedures.

To achieve these aims, the University focuses on Quality issues in its Strategic Plan and has a Quality Policy which underpins a functioning quality structure, with clearly defined roles and evaluative activities. The evaluation of achievements and the implementation of key priorities for improvement and measurement are carried out through Faculty and Departmental Action Plans, validated and monitored by senior managers.

All study programs provided by SEEU are accredited by the Accreditation and Evaluation Board of the Republic of Macedonia and the quality of our curricula and assessment are regularly reviewed according to our institutional quality assurance procedures and through a cycle of external programme review using international specialists.

Research and publications are increasing in number and scope.These important academic research activities are supported and monitored by the Research Office and Pro-Rector for Research.

The University seeks to support effective staff performance. For academic staff, this is done through procedures such as an annual Learning and Teaching Observation Scheme and the active consideration of students’ opinions from the Student Evaluation Survey. All staff is required to take part in the individual Staff Evaluation Process and all these processes are linked to an integrated Staff Development Procedure , offering internal and external opportunities for professional development and training.

The University welcomes and positively uses both national and international evaluation and quality accreditation for continuous improvement.We receive valuable evaluation and advice on a twice yearly basis from our external Quality Champion. We also actively refertothe latest developments and trends in higher education in Europe which are part of the Bologna Process. Also the University has been positively evaluated twice as part of EuropeanUniversities Association (EUA) external institutional review program ; and its administrative and management processes have been successfully validated according to International Standards for Organization (ISO 9001/2008).
