The Academy of Dramatic Arts in Tuzla is numerically the smallest part of the university in Tuzla. There are two departments, the Acting Department and the Production Department. The production department is a relatively small major with only ten students. I am currently in my third year of study at the Production Department and there are five of us left. The education lasts 4 years, after that we get the opportunity to enroll in a master’s degree. The professors are extremely competent and dedicated to their work as well as available to us students literally in every part of the day. They also organize consultations for each student and with the whole class. As for the lecture program, we work from slightly older books, but as we are a country that is developing slowly, those books are still “modern” in our country. There are a lot of deadlines for taking the exam, so I will make it easier for students, where they do not have to prepare all the courses in one deadline, but they can divide it into two or three deadlines. There are correction deadlines in September, there are two and then a social deadline. The disadvantage of the Academy of Dramatic Arts is that it is located in a small space on the campus of the University of Tuzla. The student service is dedicated to students to the maximum and available every day, either over the phone or in person. Tuition at the Academy of Dramatic Arts is very expensive for people who do not fall into funding from the budget for our conditions (900 KM semester 4 KM insurance), for people financed from the budget of Tuzla Canton the cost of studying is affordable (100 KM semester 4 KM insurance) . Tuition has not changed since the COVID-19 virus. There is no canteen at our faculty, but there is one canteen at the University level that is used mainly by students who are accommodated in student dormitories. It is located very far from the campus where the Academy of Dramatic Arts is located. Regarding accommodation in student dormitories, a competition is announced at the end of each year, to which students send applications for accommodation. As for the price of accommodation, I’m not sure, but I think it is around 500 KM per school year. Part of the accommodation is financed by the Government of Tuzla Canton.

It’s recognized in Germany as one of the H rated Universities which means that the institution is recognized as an accredited university both in our country and in Germany. It’s one of the oldest universities in the country with rich tradition but infrastructure often sucks. Lack of labs. Lack of classrooms. Lack of staff. Lack of computers. old buildings of the faculties. Generally bad equipped University but you get very good knowledge to be honest so it is worth studying here. Professors and lecturers are awesome and honestly I think they are as good as some top world higher educational institutions professors. Student dorms aren’t so good since they are old and the rooms are a bit outdated (especially the restrooms) so I recommend finding private accommodation if you are not from Tuzla or if you live too far. You can find it from 50 euros per person in a flat that you share with roommates up to 200euros if you want to live alone in an awesome flat on a great location.
