POLIS University

Founded in 2006, Polis University is one of Albania’s leading higher education institutions, specializing in architecture, urban planning and design, civil engineering, environmental science, computer science, as well as business, entrepreneurship, and innovation. The university offers an interdisciplinary educational model that integrates research, knowledge transfer, and teaching methods tailored to a rapidly evolving labor market, notably through the incorporation of challenge-based learning across various curricula.

From the outset, Polis University has pursued an ambitious internationalization agenda while maintaining strong roots in Albania, particularly in the Tirana region. With a clear commitment to creating a meaningful and lasting impact on the local economy and community, the university has consistently fostered and sustained robust collaborations with local stakeholders — including industry, policymakers, and community-based initiatives — in areas closely aligned with its core fields of expertise.
