The Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje (UKIM) (Macedonian: Универзитет „Св. Кирил и Методиј“ во Скопје (УКИМ), romanized: Univerzitet "Sv. Kiril i Metodij" vo Skopje (UKIM)) is a public research university in Skopje, North Macedonia. It is the oldest and largest public university in the country. It is named after the Byzantine Christian theologians and missionaries Cyril and Methodius. As of 2018–19 school year, a total of 25,220 students are enrolled at the university. Furthermore, the teaching and research staff number 2,390 people; this is further supported by over 300 members in the university's institutions.
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 December 16, 1920. This faculty was organized as an autonomous entity of the University of Belgrade. During the Balkan Wars of 1912–1913, Skopje was conquered by the Kingdom of Serbia, and after the end of the First World War in 1918 the city became part of the newly estbalsihed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The establishment of a University-level institution in the city was part of the wider assimilationist and colonialist policy of the Kingdom, which considered its part of Macedonia as historically and ethnically Serbian, and in line with such policies the first Faculty of Philosophy consisted only of humanities departments.
With the spread of the World War Two into the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1941, the activities of the Faculty ceased. 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 September 1944 a coup d'état in Sofia led to Bulgaria joining the Soviets. As a result the Bulgarian administration in Macedonia withdrew to the old borders of the country. So, the Bulgarian University stopped its educational activity. 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 April 1945 a new Faculty of Philosophy was established in Skopje by the Macedonian communist authorities. On the 16th of December 1946 the official opening ceremony for the Faculty of Philosophy took place, which would serve as the cornerstone of the University of Skopje. This marked the beginning of a first Macedonian state university. The first Faculty consisted of the Department of History and Philology and the Department of Mathematics and Natural Science, while the Medical Faculty and the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry were added in 1947. Fifty-eight students enrolled during the first academic year of 1946–1947; in the next year this number grew to 907. The development of higher education in Macedonia was characterized by rapid growth, and several other faculties were added in the following years. Parallel to the education activities in the existing faculties, scholarly research was undertaken with the development of independent institutes of research. The University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius was officially established in 1949. The Institute of National History was founded in 1948, followed by Institute of Folklore in 1949, and the Institute of Economics in 1952. Today, there are 10 research institutes affiliated with the University of Skopje.
The university is divided into 23 faculties and 10 research institutes:
