The university has five faculties: the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Management and Business Economics, the Faculty of Pharmaceutical and Health Sciences, the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Technical Studies. That makes it one of the few private universities in Bosnia where you can study law, study business and study pharmacy in Bosnia at the same address.

City and student life
Travnik was the seat of the Ottoman viziers for more than 150 years, and you still see it in the old town: the Coloured Mosque, the fortress above the town, the springs at Plava Voda and small cafés where people sit for hours. It is a calm place to study in Bosnia, with about 53,000 people in the municipality.
The University of Travnik is on Aleja Konzula, close to the centre, so most students walk to class. Sarajevo is about 90 km away and you reach its airport in about 1.5 hours. Buses connect Travnik with Sarajevo, Zenica and other cities several times a day.
Winters are cold and snowy, summers warm. Vlašić mountain is right next to the town, with skiing in winter and hiking in summer. Prices are low: a coffee costs around €1 and a simple lunch about €5, so living costs stay manageable for international students.
Travnik is safe and people are friendly toward foreign students. Our advice for accommodation: look for a furnished room within walking distance of Aleja Konzula and sign a written contract, because you need it for the residence permit. We help you with both.
