The University Haxhi Zeka has a history that dates back to 1960 when the Faculty of Applied Sciences in Business in Peja transformed into the Economic Commercial High School. Between 2000 and 2006 the school was reformed according to the Bologna Declaration model. It was renamed the Business School and studies were conducted in three departments: Business Administration, Applied Business Informatics, and Management in Tourism and Hospitality.
In 2011, the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo transformed the school into University Haxhi Zeka.
The university offers a diverse range of both undergraduate and graduate degree programmes across five faculties: business, law, management in tourism, hospitality and environment, agribusiness and arts.
The university is also home to the Institute of Science and Arts, the Centre for Excellence, the Business Support Centre, and the Centre for Peace and Human Rights.
Located in the vibrant city of Peja, the university has a picturesque campus in western Kosovo.
