WELCOME: RECTOR’S MESSAGE RECTOR’S MESSAGE ............................................................................................. Dear students, teachers and associates, This Guide for Study Programme 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 Faruk Čaklovica ............................................................................................. 5 WELCOME: WHY CHOOSE UNIVERSITY OF SARAJEVO? .............................................................................................

SARAJEVOinfo ............................................................................................. CULTURE Sarajevo - a city or a living legend? There is not one person that has not heard about Sarajevo at least once in their life, a place of stunning beauty, and a recent testimony to human courage in the face of adversity. 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. 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 Baščaršija 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 relic of the Ottoman Empire. Famous for its traditional religious diversity, Sarajevo has often been called "Jerusalem of Europe", with adherents of Islam, Orthodoxy, Catholicism and Judaism coexisting there for centuries. 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 BosniaHerzegovina 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. HISTORY Sarajevo has always attracted the attention of kings, clerics and conquerors because of its enviable location on the Balkan diagonal. Situated 500m above the sea, it is surrounded by mountains and forests in a river valley. And since ancient times it has acted as gateway for the peoples of Greece and Asia Minor migrating towards the Midwest of Europe or vice versa. Although settlement in the area stretches back to prehistoric times, the modern city arose as an Ottoman stronghold in the 15th century. In 1914 it was the site of the assassination that sparked World War I. The tensions that caused that original protest continued into the 20th century, ripping apart the alliance of Yugoslavia, and manifesting in the more recent Bosnia war. The 21th century begins the dawn of a new era of peace and stability for Sarajevo. ............................................................................................. 84 DID YOU KNOW THAT SARAJEVO: - was 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, the first being San Francisco? - in 1914 was the site where Austrian heir to the throne Franc Ferdinand was assassinated that sparked World War I?

Ilona Jerič University of Ljubljana SLOVENIA 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 elicit 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 that arise out of it. Out of the study coordinates - Sarajevo was really nice and inspirational experience; good music, good food, beautiful surroundings and charismatic people. ............................................................................................. 87 STUDY PROGRAMMES: EXPERIENCE ............................................................................................. Franka Gulin University of Zagreb CROATIA This scholarship was the one of the best things that happened in my life. I met fabulous people, made friendships, ate fantastic food and collaborate with some excellent professors and colleagues. Now I am at the end of this life adventure and I am still trying to find a way to stay a little bit more. This was a very very good year for me. Sarajevo, I got you under my skin! ............................................................................................. 88 Alma Budimlić University of Ljubljana SLOVENIA I was very warmly welcomed at the Faculty of Administration in Sarajevo: from staff, who showed me the Faculty and was always there for anything I needed, as well as students, who showed me around and introduced me with the city, they helped me with my studying too, explained the words I sometimes did not understand, during the classes. I can only say I wish it lasted longer and if someone is concidering applying, don't think twice!

Pavel Pospech 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 centre 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 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. ............................................................................................. 90 Marzia Bona University of Bologna ITALY 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.
