Internationalization is spearheading Albania’s transitioning into becoming a serious growth market in terms of student recruitment.

Students that go abroad develop a diverse international mindset and establish a network that will benefit them in rest of their careers. And Albania as a country is profiting from that.

More and more Albanian students are studying abroad; currently more than 11,000 and rising quickly.
