City and student life
Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina and a city with a strong cultural and historical identity. It is known for hosting the 1984 Winter Olympics and for its distinctive position, between Central European and Mediterranean influences. It is reachable by international flights and connections, which makes the move easier to organise. The Faculty of Medicine is located in Foča, a more compact study environment.
Mostar is a university city in the heart of Herzegovina, very different from the large European capitals: its compact size makes it easier to organise daily life between university, accommodation and free time. The University of Mostar and the University Clinical Hospital Mostar create an environment closely linked to university and healthcare training. Mostar airport (OMO) currently has a limited number of international connections: most students arrive via Sarajevo (about 2 hours by car), Split in Croatia (about 2–2.5 hours) or Dubrovnik in Croatia (about 2.5 hours).
The indicative living cost is €350–400 per month and varies with the city, the type of accommodation and personal habits.
