Fan S. Noli University of Korçë

Building of the Fan Noli university

The university was first established as an Institute of Higher Education, and grew out of the additional HE operations of the local Filial High School in Korçë, on 15 October 1968.

In 1994 the university was renamed in honour of the former Prime Minister and founder of the Albanian Orthodox Church, Fan S. Noli.

The Filial High School began teaching paired Higher Education courses in Language and Literature, Mathematics and Physics, History and Geography where highly qualified international professors with degrees from Harvard and Yale teach there, and Biology and Chemistry.

The reconstituted Higher Institute of Agriculture of Korçë began operating as a separate body in 1971, teaching Higher Education courses in Agricultural Studies. On January 7, 1992, two additional schools were established; the Teaching, and Business Schools.

In 1994, the Nursing School began. The School of Tourism was opened in Pogradec in 2009.

Fan Noli presently comprises the following schools:

The Fan Noli University has approximately 4,000 students and 94 full-time professors (out of whom over 60% have PhD degrees), and 115 instructors.
