Dean's Message

The world is constantly changing, and today we face challenges that were unheard of just a short time ago. At the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (FHSS) at International Balkan University (IBU), our mission is to build a student-centered learning environment that promotes critical thinking, creativity, and lifelong learning. To achieve this, FHSS has assembled a talented and accomplished faculty dedicated to student success and transformation through high-impact educational practices. These practices encourage students to actively engage both inside and outside the classroom.

University education is key to success in this new world, and FHSS aims to provide students with strong language and communication skills, alongside a solid ethical foundation, to become global citizens. By leveraging IBU’s economic, industrial, and academic connections across the Balkans, Europe, and beyond, our programs require students to complete internships. These internships offer hands-on training, allowing employers to recognize the quality of FHSS training, while helping students build essential personal and professional networks for their future careers.

All FHSS faculty members are committed to helping students develop broad-based abilities to create and apply new knowledge in their professional lives. The multicultural environment at FHSS and IBU enhances students’ understanding of global cultures, and together with our supportive learning atmosphere, prepares graduates to succeed in both reputation and capability.
