University of Sarajevo - UNSA (reviews)

Academy of Music in Sarajevo offers eight art and scientific departments. I am a student of musicology and the degree of quality of this study program is at a high level. This study’s specifics are small groups that allow close relations between students and professors. As a shortcoming, I would single out the lack of staff, which makes it challenging to expand the topics in the teaching process. Academy of Music is a faculty with students from all over the region. Still, the position of art and culture in the social context is at a very unsatisfactory level, which makes employment difficult after graduation. Despite that, my five years of experience have confirmed that the Academy of Music would be my choice even if I started from the beginning.

The ones in charge try to accomplish their needs rather than the needs of the students. They used COVID-19 and praised students who do not try hard enough and punished good students by disabling the possibility to lover student’s fee

Facilities are mostly outdated, with a great need of remodelling, especially in the main campus, which was repurposed from a military barracks. No one cares about the students and their needs, but the knowledge gained at this University is far more superior to any other private University in the country.

In general, the university is what you would expect of a former Yugoslav country. Not very modern buildings, facilities, and textbooks but it’s the effort some professors put in with the limited resources they have that really makes the University good. Of course, not all professors are like this but the ones that are, really make the student life worth it. As a supplement to their university education, Students often form student associations or join them so that they can educate themselves further. Every faculty has one and there are a lot of international ones as well. The most successful one (biased opinion since I am a member) is EESTEC LC Sarajevo 🙂 I suggest you join one of the student associations since they really do a great job here.
