How to read this
KAA's file is a list of accredited programmes for 2026/27, not a register of institutions: an institution with no programme on it may still exist, and the list doesn't say why one is absent.
Accreditation end dates are as KAA lists them for 2026/27. They are not a statement that a programme is accredited today.
Student, entrant, graduate, staff and from-abroad figures are as the Kosovo Agency of Statistics publishes them: public universities 2018/19–2023/24, private colleges 2015/16–2023/24. ASK's latest year is 2023/24, KAA's list is for 2026/27. ASK gives one row per college and doesn't say whether branches are included. "—" means ASK publishes no figure; where its women and men don't add up to its total, or only one is published, we show no figure for that year. Some figures change sharply from one year to the next; ASK doesn't say why.
ASK's own total rows for the public universities give 32,843 bachelor's and 6,950 master's students in 2023/24; its university rows add up to 32,002 and 6,842. ASK doesn't explain the difference; we show the rows.
Neither source gives fees. Public universities and private colleges set their own; ask the institution, and check what applies to students from abroad.
No fees, entry scores or graduate outcomes are published per institution as data, so this is a directory, not a matcher.
The 21 institutions on KAA's 2026/27 list
Faculties of the University of Prishtina and the 4 branches KAA lists separately are shown on their institution's page. English programme names are KAA's own translations — they don't say a programme is taught in English. English names of institutions and faculties are ours.

Students = bachelor's + master's as ASK publishes them, 2023/24. † = one of the two levels has no figure. Places are the approved intake (quota) per programme as KAA lists it; totals are our sums. Two quotas are written as text ("160 (40 per specializim)", "175 (25 per specializim)") — shown as written, counted by their leading number.
Colleges in ASK's tables with no programme on KAA's 2026/27 list (19)
Named as ASK names them (its spellings vary between tables). The last year ASK gives any bachelor's or master's figure is shown; kAA's file is a list of accredited programmes for 2026/27, not a register of institutions: an institution with no programme on it may still exist, and the list doesn't say why one is absent. ASK's 2020/21 table of bachelor's students at private colleges doesn't reproduce its own total row, and some colleges' first-year figures differ by thousands from the same year's admissions table — so 2020/21 bachelor's students at private colleges are not shown.
