Currently, the Faculty carries out its didactic, formative, and scientific activity, ensuring and providing the fundamental and necessary knowledge for a young specialist.

Afterward, it expanded and some departments became autonomous, forming the basis for the establishment of new faculties (Faculty of Letters, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Faculty of International Relations, Political and Administrative Sciences, Faculty of Sociology and Social Assistance). The progress in the training process is ensured by teachers with rich teaching and scientific experience in the field, as well as by young specialists, who have already established themselves in the field of education and research.
