About the University of Tourism and Management Skopje (UTMS)
The first private Faculty of Tourism, received the accreditation for work on June 19, 2006. The University of Tourism and Management with the amendments to the law on higher education was created in 2008, which meant filling the decades-old void in the higher education system in the country. The new faculties within the University offer curricula that guarantee full progress, not only in the learning process, but also in the complete success in creating and managing their own professional careers. In addition to undergraduate studies, in the academic year 2009/2010, the University of Tourism and Management started to enroll the first generation of postgraduate students.
The methodology of work of UTMS is based on the acquisition of knowledge and the creation of high quality professionals in the areas that are the subject of our studies. The University of Tourism and Management in Skopje has implemented an intensive application of the European Credit Transfer System through a precise and carefully designed curriculum, which is a synthesis of theory with practice in order to fully train students with skills and competencies for organization, planning and managing their own knowledge and career in the future.
The functioning of each of the five Faculties (Faculty of Tourism, Faculty of Economics, Faculty of Entrepreneurial Business, Faculty of Human Resource Management and Faculty of International Marketing Management) is supported by specially structured Advisory Boards composed of experienced professionals in the relevant area of the business sector who are engaged and committed to ensuring that teaching and subject programs are relevant to the practice.
Guided by the desire to learn the world, students gain international experience by participating in competitions, educational seminars and conferences, and through practical training in successful companies and institutions in the country and abroad with the mediation of the Career Center of UTMS.
UTMS is unique affiliate member of UNWTO (World tourism organization) in Republic of Macedonia and also is the first higher education institution in Republic of Macedonia that have TEDQUAL certificate of quality.
