The study programme offered by FASTIP covers the areas of: Bank Management, Hospitality and Tourism Management, Management of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, and Multimedia and Information Technology. Studies at FASTIP last on three years. Each semester is made up of six theoretical modules covered within a two or three week teaching sequence in English or Albanian language by national and international Guest Lecturers.
