The origins of higher education in this region go back to en earlier date.

A Department of Textile Technology was founded in 1979, as well as the College of Economy.

However, considering the enrollment policy, classes are mostly conducted in line with the Bologna system.

This means that class sizes are narrowed to the minimum number permissible, and as such, students are able to receive more direct feedback from teachers and lecturers.

Today, the University of Bihać comprises seven faculties: Biotechnical Sciences, Economics, Islamic Pedagogical Faculty, Pedagogy, Law, Technical Engineering and College of Nursing Studies, which produce 26 different professions.
