Led by the goals of raising awareness about public education and the public interest and social responsibility, we decided to help all pupils, parents and pedagogical helpers with professional orientation.

This year’s University of Sarajevo  campaign “Be what you are, study what you want” presents in an interesting and unconventional way more than 500 study programs at its Faculties and Academies, as well as all the advantages and opportunities offered to young people within the oldest and most prestigious educational and scientific institution.
 
From February to September of this year through the campaign "Be what you are, study what you want" we will provide young people with crucial assistance in choosing the future profession through:

  • innovative information accessing via Internet: websites (www.unsa.ba, www.upis.unsa.ba), Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Viber on: enrolment terms and criteria, competitive procedures for all three study cycles, ways of studying, scholarships, online enrollment options and interactive maps of Sarajevo with all, for future students, significant locations of the University of Sarajevo. On these media, information about Faculties/Academies of the University of Sarajevo is available through a bilingual Student’s Guide and through a range of available AV materials. The online availability of these content is a great opportunity for all interested to be informed in an interesting and simple way about the desired continuation of education;
  • the event “Be a student of UNSA Faculty/Academy for a Day” within which all UNSA Faculties/Academies will open their doors to all interested people on one day, during March and April, and enable direct introduction to teaching staff and teaching activities.
