What our graduates say

I chose HAEC based on recommendations of current university students, who had shared their insight with me about the excellent caliber of the university and the emphasis put on theory and practice fusion. Indeed, based on my academic experience so far, I can state that HAEC offers professional practice along with the required theoretic knowledge. The courses help students discover the field of their interest and give them the opportunity to practice the skills taught. The instructors are qualified professionals who are willing to share their expertise with the students

Blerta Zykaj, MSPsy ‘25

The curriculum and the skills taught by the professors match the market needs. The professors I have met and worked with can challenge their students and transmit both knowledge and passion for the courses delivered. The environment within the classrooms is professional, and helps formulate healthy and strong relationships among students, while we all push and support each other to excel. Would I suggest HAEC? In a heartbeat.
