Over the years, ISU’s development has been accompanied by the gradual expansion of its organizational and administrative structure. The opening of the Bitola campus, the establishment of new faculties, and the accreditation of new study programmes created a need for additional qualified staff, new departments, and a clearer allocation of responsibilities.
The University’s organizational structure complies with the Law on Higher Education and the Statute of ISU. These documents define the responsibilities of the University’s bodies and units, the roles and appointment procedures of its governing officials, the establishment of committees and other bodies, and the staffing and academic requirements for its operation. Individual units may regulate their work further through their own regulations and procedures, in accordance with the University’s general acts.
The organizational structure is not static; it adapts to the University’s development, legislative changes, and the requirements arising from new study programmes. Therefore, ISU periodically reviews the allocation of responsibilities, coordination processes, and the organization of its administrative services. At the same time, it continuously invests in its campuses and introduces modern software solutions to improve data management and administrative processes.
In addition to its academic units, ISU has dedicated services for marketing and public relations, accounting, e-learning, the e-index system, information and IT support, publishing, and other areas essential to its daily operations. Organizing these functions within the University enables faster communication, better coordination, and greater flexibility in planning and implementing activities.
Academic staff enjoy autonomy in preparing and delivering their courses within the framework of applicable legislation, accredited study programmes, the University Statute, and ISU’s established mission, vision, and values.
