摘要：Geodesy and geoinformatics education as integrated studies at the bachelor level in the Republic of North Macedonia (RNM) started in year 2015, with the accredited program at the Faculty of Applied Sciences at the University of Tetova by the Ministry of Education and Science of RNM. The identical trend continued in the first accreditation for the establishment of a new university in Skopje named "Mother Teresa" in year 2016, where the program was initially accredited as part of the Technical Faculty, to be later transferred to the Faculty of architecture and civil engineering. The geodesy and geoinformatics study programs have a five-year accreditation, while the duration of studies is 3 years which enables students to obtain the geodesy and geoinformatics engineer degree with 180ECTS according to the Bologna study system. The program is designed by taking into account contemporary trends in geodesy and geoinformatics in developed countries, as well incorporating local specifics of state systems for geoinformations in North Macedonia, Kosovo and Albania, with the sole aim of providing graduates with knowledge and skills to be capable to work in other countries outside RNM also. The curriculum includes all the contemporary elements of geo-information sciences, but due to mismanagement by the rectorates of the two universities, implementation is at a very low level. Both departments are in crisis because of the management approach at both universities where this study program is accredited, resulting with low quality of offer to students in terms of technical equipment - adequate laboratory, adequate teaching staff, and collaboration with other scientific institutions in the field of geodesy and geoinformatics. If the trend continues as in the past three years, both departments obviously will lose accreditation, will be closed, and will issue low-quality bachelor engineers on geodesy and geoinformatics with 180ECTS.
