The postgraduate business and computing programmes are franchised by Staffordshire University and through implementation of their rules of study and an Examiner from outside the University, the two institutions will jointly ensure that the quality of the student learning experience is comparable not just to that of the students on a similar programme at Staffordshire University but also to that of the students on a similar programme offered in other universities in the UK. The successful completition of the programmes leads to an MBA or MSc from Staffordshire University, UK and New York University Skopje.
Why Postgraduate Studies?
