What are your chances?

The University of Mostar is a public, accredited university in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It operates primarily in Croatian and offers a broad portfolio spanning the first, second and third cycles, alongside integrated and professionally oriented studies. Academic fields include engineering, computing, agriculture, economics, law, health, medicine, pharmacy, humanities, social sciences, education and fine arts. The university’s current name dates from 1992, although its institutional history includes faculties and higher schools that formed part of an earlier Mostar university from 1977. For 2026/2027, applicants use a centralized electronic system, but selection criteria, examinations and costs vary substantially by faculty and program. Students should therefore treat the individual constituent’s instructions as decisive, particularly for regulated health professions, arts programs and international qualifications.

Student Life & Environment

Student services are distributed between the university, its constituent faculties, the Student Centre and student representative bodies. The Student Centre provides accommodation and meals and organizes cultural, sports and recreational activities. It also mediates temporary and occasional student employment. Its 2026 university profile reports 187 rooms and 420 beds, including limited provision associated with university exchanges. Rooms have private sanitary facilities and internet and cable connections, while the restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Because the reported capacity is finite, applicants should not assume that admission to a study program guarantees a residence place. They should obtain the current housing competition, eligibility rules, prices and application dates directly from the Student Centre. The Student Union is the university’s principal student representative body and maintains faculty-level representation, a student ombudsperson and an international-cooperation function. Its 2026 activity listings include student basketball and futsal competitions. Individual faculties also operate associations, libraries and academic or professional activities, so the experience varies by field and campus location. Students seeking counselling, accessibility arrangements, competitive-sport accommodations or clubs should confirm which services are university-wide and which belong to a particular constituent before enrolling.

Location & Surroundings

The university is based in Mostar in the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its official central contact address is Trg hrvatskih velikana 1, 88000 Mostar, while teaching also occurs at constituent facilities and Campus II in Rodoč. Some entries in the university’s program and admissions materials refer to additional university centres outside Mostar, so applicants should verify the delivery location of their chosen program rather than assuming every course is taught at the central campus. Mostar lies in the Neretva River valley between Hum Hill and the Velež Mountain area. The city’s Old Bridge and surrounding Old City have been on UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 2005. UNESCO describes an urban landscape shaped by Ottoman, Mediterranean and western European influences and by the coexistence of different cultural and religious communities. For students, this places study within an active regional city rather than an isolated residential campus. Daily travel, accommodation choice and proximity to facilities will depend on the relevant faculty or campus. Prospective international students should compare the faculty address, housing location and available local transport before committing to a lease.

Costs & Career Outcomes

The University of Mostar does not publish one universal tuition figure. Its 2026/2027 competition sets semester charges by program and student category, distinguishing ministry-supported regular students, fee-paying regular students, part-time students and distance students. For programs admitting ministry-supported regular students, the standard enrollment charge was BAM 200 per semester. Published fee-paying undergraduate and integrated-study charges varied widely: examples ranged from BAM 700 per semester for agriculture to BAM 2,500 for dental medicine. Medicine in English was listed separately at EUR 4,500 per semester. These are 2026/2027 figures, not estimates for future years. The competition states that enrollment charges are included in tuition for fee-paying regular and part-time students. It also lists a BAM 50 selection-procedure charge and a BAM 10 Student Union payment at enrollment. Housing and meals are separate from academic fees; the sources reviewed did not provide a verified 2026/2027 Student Centre price, so students should request the current residence schedule and budget independently for accommodation, food, transport, books, insurance and administrative requirements. Career preparation is embedded differently across constituents. The portfolio includes professional and regulated fields such as engineering, health, pharmacy, medicine, law and education, as well as business, arts and humanities. The Student Centre also reports mediation for temporary student work. No authoritative, university-wide graduate employment rate, salary outcome or employer-placement dataset was found in the reviewed sources. Applicants should therefore evaluate curricula, practical components, professional recognition and faculty-level career support rather than infer outcomes from promotional claims.
