IRO OVERVIEW

Built in 1914, the Palace of Justice today hosts the Rectorate and the Faculty of Law of the University of Sarajevo.

At the University of Sarajevo, we believe that internationalisation isn’t just paperwork – it’s people, ideas, and experiences that travel! The International Relations Office (IRO) is your gateway to the world of opportunities: from Erasmus+ exchanges and international projects, to new partnerships and student support. We connect UNSA with universities across Europe and beyond — turning international dreams into real experiences.

FUN FACTS ABOUT OUR IRO

We speak more than 10 languages (and can help you say “hello” in at least 20!)

We send and receive around 5,000 emails a month — and still smile about it.

Our favourite tradition: IRO selfies with Erasmus students and staff at every ocassion!

Coffee is our official fuel — every project idea starts with a cup.

The University of Sarajevo, located at the crossroads of Southeast and Central Europe, is committed to building strong international cooperation in the fields of education, research, and innovation. Situated in Sarajevo—a city renowned for its rich historical heritage, cultural diversity, and long tradition of coexistence—the University offers a unique academic and social environment for international collaboration.
