Faculties and campus
Where you will study
School of Medicine (Bijeli Brijeg, Mostar)
The School of Medicine was established on 22 April 1997 and stands next to the University Clinical Hospital Mostar at Bijeli Brijeg, in the north-west of the city. Its building holds an amphitheatre, lecture and computer rooms, a dissection hall for anatomy, and teaching laboratories for biology, histology, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology and microbiology. Research labs work in molecular biology, immunology, cytogenetics, physiology and morphology.
The school runs a Centre for Cytogenetics that also performs chromosome analysis for hospital patients, a Centre for Sleep Medicine and a Centre for Continuing Medical Education. Each year it admits 60 students to Medicine in Croatian, 30 to Dental Medicine and 30 to Medical Studies in English. The hospital has 17 clinics, from internal medicine with a dialysis centre to neurosurgery, oncology and paediatrics, plus a clinical skills lab used in teaching.
Lectures and hospital wards are a few minutes apart. That saves time.
Faculty of Health Studies (Bijeli Brijeg, Mostar)

Architecture and Urbanism was added in 2017/18, Geodesy and Geoinformatics in 2019/20, together with the doctoral study offered in Croatian and English.

Seventeen departments cover languages, history, philosophy, psychology, journalism, social work, political science and speech therapy, and the faculty partners with institutions such as the British Council and the Goethe-Institut.
Faculty of Science and Education (Matice hrvatske, Mostar)
FPMOZ was created in 2005 from the same Teacher Training College, whose roots go back to 1950. It is the broadest faculty of the university, teaching biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, geography, kinesiology, music and teacher education. Programmes in computer science, preschool and primary education and kinesiology are also delivered in Orašje.

The faculty builds on the Higher Agricultural School of 1960 and today has its seat at Biskupa Čule bb, with an experimental field in the suburb of Rodoč. Herzegovina is wine, olive and fruit country, and the curriculum follows that: viticulture and oenology, olive growing and oil production, protected vegetable growing, food chemistry and nutrition. Field trips lead to dairies, food plants and the Neretva fish farms, and a Real-Time PCR device supports research.
Academy of Fine Arts (Široki Brijeg)
The University Council founded the Academy on 11 January 1996 in Široki Brijeg, a town about 20 km west of Mostar, drawing on the Franciscan Gallery and its art circle. Painting and printmaking use the main building, while sculpture moved into a new building in the same complex in 2009/10.
