Social Care and Welfare

The Social Care and Welfare Program is a very special and indispensable program in Kosovo today, as the requirements for such a program are necessary for all levels and age groups of society in Kosovo today.

The lack of professional staff   disabled Kosovo for a period of 20 years to open   programs such as Social Care and Welfare, where demands from society have been high and still continue to grow.

Two of the main goals of the faculty activities are: Teaching and studying. The teaching activity is based on a contemporary program, which enables qualitative preparation of students in the respective professions. The scientific activity is of an applicable character and focuses on social studies that are of interest to society and beyond.
