University of Sarajevo
The University of Sarajevo (UNSA) cultivates centuries long tradition of high education in B&H. Institutional beginnings of our high education are quite similar to the Western Europe’s university tradition. In 1531, Gazi Husrev–bey had founded the Hanikah, a Sufi philosophy high school, which was supplemented in 1537 with the institution for Islamic sciences studying. In 1887, precisely during the period of Austrian – Hungarian rule, the Shariah Court School started with its work, operating as a five year high school. Modern history of the UNSA begins with the opening of first secular higher education institutions, in the dusk of and during WWII (Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry 1940, Faculty of Medicine, 1944). The UNSA was officially founded in 1949, which makes it the oldest university in Bosnia and Herzegovina. With more than 40,000 students enrolled, it is also currently the largest university in BiH. UNSA consist from 24 faculties and academies, 4 university institutes and 5 university centres, National and University Library of BiH, University Clinical Centre and Student Parliament Since its founding, the UNSA is oriented towards international cooperation, building bridges between cultures, and establishing formal partnerships with universities from all over the world.
