History

During the third session of the of the Presidium of the Antifascist Council of the National Liberation of Macedonia, held in 1944, one of the items on the agenda was the question of opening a Macedonian university. At the beginning of 1945, the concept of a university began to be realized. The official ceremony for the opening of the Faculty of Philosophy, the cornerstone of the University of Skopje, took place on 29 November 1946. This marked the beginning of a Macedonian state university

 were added in 1947. Fifty-eight students enrolled during the first academic year of 1946–1947, in the next year this number grew to 907. The development of higher education in Macedonia was characterized by rapid growth, and several other faculties were added in the following years. Parallel to the educational activities in the existing faculties, scholarly research was also undertaken with the development of independent institutes of research. Thus, the Institute of National History was founded in 1948, followed by Institute of Folklore in 1949, and the Institute of Economics in 1952. Today, there are 10 research institutes affiliated with the University of Skopje.
