Two Awards for UBT Students at the Wood Industry Convention

26/11/2025

In this activity, both of the main prizes were won by UBT students: second place was awarded to Berna Salihu and third place to Diona Ukaj. Both projects were highly valued for their creativity, functionality, and design elegance, reflecting the professional preparation and modern approach of the students in this field.

The Dean of the Faculty of Art and Design at UBT, Ariana Gjoni, also attended the conference, representing the institution on behalf of the Rector of UBT. She emphasized the importance of cooperation between the industry and academic institutions as two key pillars for the development of the wood and design sector in Kosovo.

Over the years, UBT has built a unique model of cooperation with the wood, manufacturing, and design industries. The institution believes that universities should be closely connected to the real economy, produce practical knowledge, and contribute to the modernization of the industry. As a result, every year more than 90% of UBT students become employed in this sector, often before graduation.

The success of Berna Salihu and Diona Ukaj is a strong testament to the talent, dedication, and high level of preparation of UBT students. The institution proudly celebrates this achievement and reaffirms its commitment to supporting students throughout their academic and professional journeys.
