About
The University of Arts (Albanian: Universiteti i Arteve), formerly the Academy of Arts (Albanian: Akademia e Arteve), is a public university of arts in Tirana, Albania. It is the main public institution of higher artistic education in the country and offers programmes in music, fine arts and performing arts.
The university was founded in 1966 as the Higher Institute of Arts by merging three earlier institutions: the State Conservatory of Tirana, the School of Fine Arts and the Aleksandër Moisiu Higher School of Actors. In 1990 it was raised to university level and renamed the Academy of Arts. In 2011, by Decision of the Council of Ministers no. 234 of 23 March 2011, it was reorganized as the University of Arts while keeping its three-faculty structure.
