Кирил и Методиј“ во Скопје) is a public research university in Skopje, North Macedonia.

The primary language of instruction is Macedonian, but there are a number of courses which are carried out in English, German, French, Italian and Albanian.

The beginnings of modern, organized tertiary education in Skopje are connected to the establishment of the Faculty of Philosophy on the 16th December 1920[3].

Following the occupation of the region by the Kingdom of Bulgaria, a new institution of higher education was established in 1943 in Skopje – the Tsar Boris III University.

In 1944 the Socialist Republic of Macedonia was established by ASNOM, which became officially operational in December, shortly after the German retreat from Skopje.

On the 16th of December 1946 the official opening ceremony for the Faculty of Philosophy took place [3], which would serve as the cornerstone of the University of Skopje.

As a result, a large donation of equipment for science teaching and research was gathered from around the world through UNESCO's international programme of aid to Skopje.
