International Credit Mobility in Albania

Project introduction

Albania is a target country of the international strategy of the University of Lille (ULille). Indeed, ULille wants to support European countries that are not members of the European Union, which is one of the objectives of its participation in the International Credit Mobility (ICM).


In 2018, an agreement was signed with two Albanian universities, including Epoka University, in the fields of economics and management. This institution represents a real opportunity for cooperation for the Faculty of Economic, Social and Territorial Sciences (FaSEST) of ULille, in particular for its teaching quality and for its range of courses taught in English in economics and management, which is close to Lille's offer. On the strength of this potential for cooperation, it was decided with this partner to submit an ICM project in 2019, which was selected. This first project was to allow the opening up of the FaSEST to the Balkan region under optimal conditions, and to welcome students of different levels of study who would not necessarily have had the possibility of coming to study in Lille without funding.

Based on this success, the University of Lille has obtained the renewal of its partnership with Epoka University in the framework of the ICM 2022 for a 36-month project.
