Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina

In 1887, under de facto Austro-Hungarian Empire control, a Sharia Law School began a five-year program.

It is provided by general and technical secondary schools, where studies begin at the age of 15 (or 14, as part of the old education system) and last for three or four years.

[3] In accordance with laws and regulations, higher education institutions are funded by the corresponding RS or FBiH authorities.

One of the main prerequisites for reform was the adoption of the higher education law in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Reforms within universities themselves will represent a challenge — for example, the introduction and implementation of the ECTS and diploma supplements, as well as other Bologna process initiatives.
