The WPI Tirana, Albania Project Center has been in operation since 2013.
Albania is located on the Adriatic Sea in southeastern Europe, across from Italy and north of Greece. National Geographic ranked Albania among the top places to visit in 2018, as did Lonely Planet again in 2019. Albania has numerous small cities of historical and archaeological interest in addition to Tirana, its vibrant capital city. Tirana offers cultural activities, museums, excellent restaurants, cafés, nightlife, and a large population of students eager to practice their English. Students also have the opportunity to experience Albania's natural beauty through a weekend hiking trip in the Albanian Alps, one of the country's most celebrated landscapes.
