University of Sarajevo (UNSA)
The University of Sarajevo (UNSA) is the oldest and largest higher education institution in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is a public university, covering almost all fields through over 100 study programmes and over 200 departments, with around 45.000 students. In terms of organisation, the University o Sarajevo today is a large and complex public institution, comprising 30 organisational units: 22 faculties, 3 academies, and 5 research institutes, in six areas of academic work: social science, humanities, medicine, technical studies, science, bio-technology and art. Associate members of the University include the National and University Library of BiH, Gazi Husrev-bey’s Library and the National Museum, as well as other units. In May 2013, pursuant to the Framework Law on Higher Education in BiH and the Law on Higher Education in the Sarajevo Canton, the Senate of the University of Sarajevo adopted a new Statute and thus took a bold step forward, moving from a loose association of faculties towards a university organised in a way shaped by relevant European traditions. The educational process is organized according to the Bologna principles. University of Sarajevo has extensive experience in TEMPUS projects dealing with such areas as Governance Reform, Quality Assurance, Curriculum Development, IT, E-infrastructure, distance learning among others. UNSA is internationally oriented and its intention is to become fully integrated into the EHEA, but preserving its academic tradition and academic culture heritage. UNSA has shared its practices in numerous FP and ERASMUS Mundus projects as well. UNSA is partner in the EMA2 project: Basileus, JoinEU-SEE PENTA, Sigma (Agile), Euroweb(+), Eraweb, GreenTech and Sunbeam.
