Dear students, teachers and associates,

This Guide for Study Programs of the University of Sarajevo tries to present the rich offer of study
programs of our Academies and Faculties.
Mobility, as an important factor of the Bologna Process, implies a residence at the host university,
where students have more possibilities to expand their linguistic, cultural knowledge, as well as
the knowledge gained through the education. At the same time, it is believed that mobility
contributes to the better transparency and acknowledgement of studies and qualifications, in
accordance with EU rules and Bologna process in this area.
With a goal to make international relations even stronger, we have prepared a certain number of
guides that will take you through the rich tradition of the University of Sarajevo, the City of
Sarajevo and of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We want to ease the process of mobility to all students
and staff members who decide to spend certain period at the most respected higher education
institution in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This guide will provide you information about University of Sarajevo, academic calendar with a
timetable of classes and events, and http links of all faculties and academies. We believe that this
information will be of use to you during your selection of a desired study program and residence
at our University.
Good luck,
Rector
Prof. Dr. Muharem Avdispahi, Dr. h. c.

WHY CHOOSE SARAJEVO?
SARAJEVO!
A city or a living legend?
THE STORY OF THE CITY

Sarajevo is the capital and the largest city of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, with a population of 291.422* people
living in the four municipalities that make up the city
area, and 438.443* people living in the wider area of
the Sarajevo Canton. It is also the capital of the
Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Entity, as well as
the administrative centre of the Sarajevo Canton.
Sarajevo is located in the Sarajevo valley, surrounded by
the Dinaric Alps, and situated around the Miljacka
River.
HISTORY
Although the first settlements in the area date back to
prehistoric times, the modern city developed as an
Ottoman stronghold in the 15th century. Sarajevo has
attracted international attention several times
throughout its history: in 1914 it was the site of the
assassination of the Austrian heir to the throne, the
event that triggered the World War I, while seventy
years later it became the host City of the 1984 Winter
Olympics. More recently, Sarajevo went through the
longest siege in the modern military history, during the
Aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina. Today, the city
is recovering and adjusting to a post-agression reality,
as a major centre of culture and economic
development in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Interestingly,
Sarajevo was also the first city in Europe and the
second city in the world to have a full-time operational
electric tram network running through the city.
Experience for yourself the warm welcome and the

historical riches that make Sarajevo unique. But
remember, once you come here you will always want to
return. Walk down Baarija and you will still see a
mixture of traditional craft stalls next to contemporary
fashion retailers. Every few steps there are an ancient
chapel, mosque or other religious monument.
Sarajevo has been the meeting point between east and
west for hundreds of years, the place where time
seems to freeze. Many civilizations and Empires have
passed through this city, each of them leaving traces
behind that can be found all over. In just a few hundred
meters in Sarajevo, Catholic and Orthodox churches,
mosques and Jewish synagogues proudly stand side by
side. Centuries have passed by and they still stand out,
welcoming travelers.
Just in one place you can find unbelievable natural
beauty and richness this country possesses, all
historical monuments you need to visit, as well as all
tourist attractions that wait for you to come. Find some
time to enjoy the beauties the city of Sarajevo and the
whole of Bosnia-Herzegovina have to offer. Do not miss
exploring some of the witnesses of history and times
long past, monuments that still preserve the spirit of
the old times and remain seals of historical events.

SIEGE OF SARAJEVO
SIEGE OF SARAJEVO
.............................................................................................
SIEGE OF SARAJEVO
The Siege of Sarajevo was the longest siege in the history of

modern warfare. It took place during the Agression on
Bosnia and Herzegovina, on one side having the poorly
equipped defending forces of the B&H Government, after
the independance referendum held on 29 February and 1
March 1992, and the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) and
Paramilitary forces formed of the part of Bosnian Serbs
who, located on the hills around Sarajevo, besieged the city
from 5 April 1992 to 29 February 1996. The siege brought
about dramatic human casualties and large scale
destruction. Total 11.541 people were killed and 50.000
wounded during the siege, 85% of all casualties were
civilians. Due to killings and forced migration, by 1995 the
population of Sarajevo decreased to 334.663 or 64% of the
pre-war population. The siege of Sarajevo has been
declared officially over after almost four years of
continuous shelling and sniper attacks. Under the terms of
the Dayton Peace Agreement, signed in December 1995,
the war ended. The reconstruction of Sarajevo started as
soon as the war ended. Modern office buildings and
skyscrapers have since been constructed throughout the
city.

WHY CHOOSE UNIVERSITY OF SARAJEVO?
STUDY STRUCTURE
The three-cycle system of study at the University of
Sarajevo leads to the following academic titles:
bachelor, upon completion of the first cycle, master,
upon completion of the second cycle, and doctor of
science/arts, upon completion of the third cycle. An
integrated programme of the first and second cycle at
schools of the medical group leads to the title of a
doctor of medicine/dental medicine/veterinary
medicine, and a master of pharmacy.
TEACHING LANGUAGE
The majority of courses and study programmes are in
Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (B/C/S) and it is required that
candidates have some level of knowledge of the host
country's language before arrival. Bosnian/Croatian/
Serbian are languages with three different language
standards and minor regional variations. However, there
are cases where complete study programmes are in
English (such as the programmes offered by the Centre
for Interdisciplinary Studies, and by the School of
Economics and Business which offers undergraduate
and postgraduate joint programmes in cooperation with
the Griffith College Dublin, Faculty of Business), or
where certain courses can be provided in English.
Please contact the administration of the institution you
are interested in, and ask for course descriptions and
language requirements. The University of Sarajevo
member institutions offer a variety of study
programmes within the Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral
level of studies.
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
It can be said dor scientific research in Bosnia and
Herzegovina that is in an alarming situation; the country
lags behind in this area and this reflects more and more
on its weakened competitiveness and low productivity
of its economy, as well as its position on the regional
and the global market. However, due mainly to personal
efforts by Faculty members both during and after the
war, the University managed to maintain its status of
the most prestigious and the most developed scientific
and higher education institution in the country.
Scientific and artistic research at the University of
Sarajevo is mainly located at Faculties, Academies and
institutes in the areas of medicine, technical studies,
natural science, botanical studies, social studies,
humanities and arts.

The study of linguistics exists in
order to help us understand the
abstract noises and shapes which
we use to communicate with each
other, the differences between
them and what they mean, the rules
which govern them, and how we
understand them. This considers
studying literary texts, films, history,
politics and media, and usually also
means spending time studying or
working in a country where your
language of choice is spoken.
Different modern language degrees

some perhaps more focused on the
study of literary texts, others more
on contemporary contexts or on
vocational training.

RESEARCH
OPPORTUNITIES
ABOUT
Scientific research in Bosnia and
Herzegovina can be said to be in an
alarming situation; the country lags
behind in this area and this reflects
more and more on its weakened
competitiveness and low
productivity of its economy, as well
as its position on the regional
and the global market. It is
particularly noteworthy that in the
given circumstances, interestingly,
the areas of competence of the
University of Sarajevo noted by
relevant international scientific
databases grew in previous period.
According to the Elsevier indicators,
the increase is mainly due to new
research in clinical disciplines,
whereas mathematics and physics
stand out in terms of the level of
competence. The University of
Sarajevo will always try to contribute
to the research mission, especially
focusing on intellectual,
technological, economic ans social
developments. Our University covers
a broad range of research activities,
including basic research, applied
research and development research.
The top-class science and research
performed at Faculties, Academies,
Centres and Institutes of learning
thrives on intensive cooperation
between scientists, academics,
research organisations and
institutes, both at home and abroad.
In addition to higher education
institutions, academic researchers
do have a possibility to do their
research in the collaborations with
our Centres and Institutes.

My Basileus exchange in Sarajevo was very fruitful for understanding
different social enviorments, meeting new people and last but not least
my diploma thesis research. Living in a city and country that has such a
strog presence of historical political components in everyday life
requires recontextualization of previously obtained knowledge about
environment. But at the same point this circumstance elicits different
opinions in communication, which motivated intensiveness of my
observations, participations and knowledge-absorption process. Also
my staying at the department for Comparative Literature and at
Bosnian-Hercegovian Literature Department was valuable for insight in
Bosnian-Hercegovian literature thesaurus and the research questions
arising out of it. Out of the study coordinates - Sarajevo was really nice
and inspirational experience; good music, good food, beautiful
surroundings and charismatic people.

Masaryk University, Brno
CZECH REPUBLIC
My encounter with Sarajevo was rather random one, as it
happens to be with many important encounters in general. I
was looking for a place where I could work independently on
my PhD thesis and related research. Within the Erasmus
Mundus programme, Sarajevo appeared to be the most
interesting city, so I picked Sarajevo. Now, 6 months later and
about to leave back home, I can see it was a good choice. My
experience with academic life at the university is somewhat
limited, since I didn't participate in lectures and seminars. My
stay here was research-oriented, which meant less contact
with the academia and more independent work. Such an
assignement implies a certain level of loneliness, which I also
expected when coming to Sarajevo. Well, I was wrong. The
other international students turned out to be a very friendly
and enthusiastic people, always willing to go out and discover
the oddities and peculiarities of this great city, not returning
home before 4 AM. Being with them made my research stay a
great experience and a fond memory. Then, of course, is the
city itself, one of the most charming places I have ever been
to. The metropolitan and cosmopolitan feeling of a capital city
goes hand in hand with the odd layout, whereby the city
center with all its institutions and services is really small.
Finally, my stay here was made much easier by the support of
the administrative crowd and the University of Sarajevo
employees both at the department of sociology, where I was
enlisted and in the international office. All this together made
my stay in Sarajevo a great experience.

As an exchange student at the University of
Sarajevo, I had the opportunity to attend
stimulating lectures given by brilliant
professors. Conferences and parallel events
have further enriched the educational
opportunity of studying at this University.
Infrastructures of the University of Sarajevo,
such as the Human Rights Library and the
National Library of Bosnia Herzegovina have
proven a very useful tool for my studying
and researching activities. The city is a
priceless environment, offering lots of
possibilities for the free time. At same time,
its dimension makes it very accessible and
enjoyable. Cultural initiatives and the great
nature surrounding the city have made my
staying in Sarajevo an enriching experience
even outside the academy.

I am currently the Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in Sarajevo. I am partnered with the University of Sarajevo,
Department of Islamic Studies. Participating in an exchange to Bosnia and Herzegovina has been one of the most
enriching experiences of my life. I am very humbled my how much I have learned, and how quickly it felt like my home.
First and foremost, Sarajevo is a wonderful place to live and learn. Bosnia is a beautiful country that is unlike any other
place I have ever seen- the terrain is stunning and the people are very kind and genuine. Secondly, the Department of
Islamic Studies wan an amazing place to work - everyone was very welcoming and friendly and the students were great.
They were very enthusiastic and a pleasure to teach. I taught them conversational English and would come in weekly
with a lesson that I had designed on my own. I was excited to be given such control and liberty over what I taught them
because I was able to talk about subjects that I was passionate about, as well as occasionally play games with them to
make the learning more fun. I enjoyed the classroom environment that we had and noticed a great improvement from
when they first entered my class to when they left.
I also conducted a side project and research: my research was on political artistic performance in Sarajevo and my
project was to create a Slam Poetry (performance poetry) and Storytelling group here. Both the side project and the
research worked out really well - I learned a lot from the artistic scene in Sarajevo and partnered our poetry group,
REFLEKS, with the Sarajevo War Theater. The research was very insightful for me and directly related to the work that I
want to do in the future. I met, worked with, and learned from amazing people at the Sarajevo War Theater and
Magacin Kabare. It was also great to interact with a diverse group of writers in REFLEKS and to be able to get to know
people through writing and discussion. It was also phenomenal and inspiring to see people going from first
understanding a new art form (Slam/Performance Poetry) to seeing them really enjoy doing it and use it as a way to
express some of their deepest thoughts and feelings.
All in all, I am thrilled with my experienced and know that I have made some life long friends as a result of my
experience on my Fulbright. I would recommend exchange programs such as Fulbright to everyone, because it is a
great opportunity to grow and learn.

I have really liked Sarajevo since my first visit there in 2006. I have generally liked
study stay abroad and as I had been already in Vienna, I wanted rather in a postcommunistic country. I wanted to learn Bosnian (Serbian, Croatian), which had been
for my almost new language but on the other side quite similar to manage it quickly, I
hoped. My impression was very good, I was only sad that I could not stay longer.
However, I would have appreciated more classes of Bosnian (or maybe i.e. three days
intensive course at the beginning).
The other thing which doesnt concern directly international students, but all of the
students is the fact that some professors (or assistants) were not always in their
offices during their consultation time, without leaving a note of absence. On the
other side, they were friendly when they spoke with me (us) and they generally tried
to do the best for us.

Marko Krajnovi
University of Zagreb
CROATIA
I decided to apply Basileus project in 2009/2010 when I was in my 3rd year of studies at my home
University in Zagreb, because I knew that was a perfect period and a great opportunity to experience a
student exchange. I had chosen Sarajevo for my exchange because it is a city with rich history and it's
widely known for the hospitality of its citizens towards anyone who comes to Sarajevo. What also helped
me in my decision was the fact that my home faculty - Faculty of Economics and Business Zagreb - has
signed a cooperation agreement with Faculty of Economics of Sarajevo, which made some procedures
connected to the exchange a lot simpler and easyer.
My first impression when I came to Sarajevo was just as I expected. People were very kind and helpful,
both at the Unversity of Sarajevo and at the Faculty of Economics. And I really had lots of questions,
especially in the beginning. I was also connected to ESN Sarajevo, which offered their assistance in any
possible situation. There were also organized some meetings with other exchange students at the
University.
I have to point out that I had a very good relations with all my professors and assistants. I was accepted as
any other student of the Faculty and I had all the same rights and obligations. Some professors offered
their recommendation letter after the exchange and I also got the book "Seven Habits of Very Successful
People" from professor Aziz unje and his assistant Emir Kurti for the success on their course.
My general impression of the mobility was great, it is definitely an experience that every student should
try to gain at least once in his student period. I would definitely apply again and repeat everything. In the
end, here is my message to anyone who is in doubt is: the longer you think whether to apply to an
exchange or not, the closer you are to the point when you will regret! Some people spend their whole
(student) life in thinking!
.............................................................................................

EXPERIENCE
I chose Sarajevo because of my previous visit during the film festival, where I feel in love
with the city. If you are looking for something else, not the classic Erasmus story, Sarajevo is
the perfect choice. The city itself is big enough for a full and vibrant student life and small
enough to meet your new friends on the street and have a coffee or beer with them in one of
the many charming cafs or bars.
EXPERIENCE
.............................................................................................
Sarajevo is different than the cities in Western or Central Europe, the mix of eastern,
western and socialist architecture, the rich and multicultural history, the warm and
talkative people and last but not least the local food and beverages, which offer you a great
diversity and an experience you will never forget.
In the end there is only one right option for your Erasmus stay and once you are there and
you drink water from the fountain in the Baarija old center you will not only always come
back to Sarajevo, as the legend says, but you will never want to leave the city with its
surrounding Olympic mountains .
