“Aleksandër Moisiu” University, Durrës

Key Highlights

• Active public university in Albania’s official ASCAL register
• Licensed by Council of Ministers Decision No. 801 of 20 December 2005
• Five faculties distributed between Currila and Spitallë
• Documented 2026–2027 admissions and doctoral planning

Student Life & Environment

Student services are distributed across UAMD’s two main locations. The Currila building contains a library and laboratories and houses Information Technology and Professional Studies. At Spitallë, the first building contains a library and laboratories and houses Education; the newer building accommodates Business and Political and Legal Sciences. Prospective students can request a campus visit through the Career and Alumni Sector, with the university publishing weekday visiting hours. The university website provides student-facing links for the academic calendar, schedules, scholarships, invoices, teaching secretariats, the university library, workshops, and the Student Council. A current Student Council gives students a formal channel for representation. UAMD also advertises Erasmus+ and other mobility calls; eligibility, available places, funding, and study fields vary by individual call. One 2025–2026 blended mobility opportunity with the University of Bremen, for example, was open across faculties but offered only one place. Career services include individual guidance, CV and motivation-letter preparation, interview training, employment information, internships, volunteering, job fairs, job shadowing, and alumni activities. The official materials reviewed do not establish university-operated residence halls, meal plans, or guaranteed housing. Students who require accommodation should therefore ask UAMD whether any housing referral or external arrangement is available before budgeting.

Location & Surroundings

UAMD operates in Durrës at two principal addresses. The central Currila building is at Lagjja 1, Rruga e Currilave, postcode 2001. The newer university campus is on Rruga Miqësia in Spitallë, postcode 2009. These are functionally different academic sites: students in Information Technology and Professional Studies attend Currila, while Education, Business, and Political and Legal Sciences are assigned to Spitallë. This division should be part of practical course selection. Applicants should identify the faculty delivering their program before choosing accommodation or estimating their daily journey, particularly when comparing services and events held at the other campus. The Career and Alumni Sector is located on the first floor of the Faculty of Education at Spitallë, although university contact and administrative functions also reference Currila. The official campus page describes libraries and laboratories at each location but does not publish a university shuttle service, parking guarantee, residence option, or detailed public-transport instructions. Students should verify their intended route independently and ask whether any timetable requires travel between sites.

Costs & Career Outcomes

UAMD’s Senate gave preliminary approval to 2026–2027 tuition for first-cycle, integrated, professional two-year, and second-cycle programs in July 2026. However, the searchable official material reviewed did not expose a reliable program-by-program schedule of final payable amounts. No single tuition figure should therefore be inferred for all students. Applicants should obtain the final Administrative Board decision or invoice for their exact program and confirm whether the amount differs by cycle, repeat status, citizenship, or other category. The university published scholarship decisions for 2025–2026 covering eligible first-cycle students in priority fields and students in need through the Student Support Fund. This demonstrates that targeted support existed in that academic year, but it should not be represented as an automatic or unchanged 2026–2027 entitlement. Candidates should check the new call, eligibility rules, documents, and deadlines. No current university housing price, meal-plan charge, or comprehensive cost-of-attendance budget was verified, so living costs must be planned separately. Career support is more clearly documented. UAMD’s Career and Alumni Sector offers career counseling, CV and motivation-letter workshops, interview preparation, employment information, internships, volunteering, job fairs, job shadowing, and alumni programming. These services can help students prepare for work, but the university does not publish verified placement rates, graduate salaries, or guaranteed employment on the reviewed pages.
