Epoka University is an international higher education institution located in Tirana, the capital of Albania. The University commenced academic activities during the 2007-2008 academic year, in compliance with the provisions of the Albanian higher education legislation.
In 2012, based on the Decision of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Albania No. 553, dated 22.08.2012, the legal status of the institution has been changed from “Institution of Higher Education (“Shkollë e Lartë” in Albanian) to “University”.
All institutional strategies of Epoka University are built on the “Education, Research and Contribution to Society” triangle. To promote further R&D, as well as contribution to society, Epoka University has signed several cooperation agreements with international and national institutions. Among our distinguished partners are the Albania Investment Council, American-Albanian Business Association, Tirana Municipality, British Council Albania, Yunus Center, Dhaka, and others.
