An incoming exchange student can be defined as a person enrolled at a higher education institution abroad and doing a limited study abroad (in the framework of ongoing studies at the home institution). If you want to come to the University of Sarajevo, check with your home university (International Relations Office or Erasmus+ office) for the availability to apply for international mobility. What is needed for the exchange:
- a valid exchange agreement between your home institution and the University of Sarajevo,
- your home university has nominated you,
- sending required application documents,
- finding suitable study program(s).
How to apply?
Step 1 – Nomination
You must be officially nominated and supported by your home institution. Nomination is an activity done through email communication from your home coordinator, who confirms that the student was selected and supported by their home institution to carry out a study period at the University of Sarajevo. The nomination must include:
- candidate’s data (name, surname, gender, study field, study cycle, email, and chosen study program at UNSA)
- application documents (see below)
Nomination deadlines:

Step 2 – Required application documents (phase 1)
Once nominated, you will be asked to prepare and send an Application form – which gives us your profile, interest and study proposal. UNSA offers over 300 modules taught mainly in English or other languages: https://international.unsa.ba/modules-in-english/. Please note that courses provided on this website are the ones offered for international students. This form will be used for evaluation, and based on it, your nomination will be accepted, asked to be modified or rejected with explained reasons. The application form is needed before the given deadlines (below).

Step 3 – Required application documents (phase 2)
Once accepted, you will be asked to prepare the Erasmus+ Learning agreement for studies as an official document about your mobility at the University of Sarajevo. The data entered in the Application form and approved by the academic coordinators should be copied/pasted in the learning agreement.
