UPV campus
The campus of UPV is located in Vlore. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies.
There is a library on the grounds of the university. There are collected scientific works of graduates and teachers of the university, as well as fiction. The university has many opportunities for sports. There are sports grounds and various clubs. Thanks to international exchange programs at UPV, students can communicate with representatives of different countries and nationalities and thus expand their own horizons. And, the university contributes to this by regularly holding joint events for local and foreign students.
If you want to stay in Albania after graduation, one of your options is to apply for a work visa. To do this, you need to get an offer from an employer. You can find other options for immigration in our article.
