Through this research, I have addressed the satisfaction of high-level students of bachelor and master studies with accounting modules, during the online learning which was developed during the Covid19 pandemic in Kosovo. Given the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on the higher education system, I have presented to you the opinion of students from Kosovo universities, ie students of economic faculties. 200 students were included in this research, while the research was conducted online through a structured questionnaire and the data were analyzed through the SPSS program. The research results showed that students have good knowledge of the application of online learning platforms and have active access to university platforms, namely accounting modules. Approximately half of the student’s state that they have technical problems with their equipment during online learning, but the good thing remains to be the support and assistance of the IT of the faculties during this time. Based on the correlation analysis we understand that we correlate with the forms of cooperation between students and the contents with the student-teacher cooperation, and there is a high positive relationship with overall satisfaction with accounting modules. On the other hand, there is a high correlation between student-teacher interaction and student-student interaction, as well as overall satisfaction with accounting modules. In general, we say that students' satisfaction with accounting modules remains at a satisfactory level and that this is thanks to the application of online learning platforms offered by economic faculties in Kosovo. What I can ask for further is to include other subjects in the study and make comparisons, as well as to provide specific platforms for each field.
