Džemal Bijedić University of Mostar (UNMO)

Founded in 1976 and named after Džemal Bijedić — a Bosniak politician and former Yugoslav Prime Minister (1971-1977) who died in a 1977 plane crash. Approximately 3,500 students. 🕯️ Mostar is a divided city — the war's frontline ran through it, and the famous 16th-century Stari Most (Old Bridge) was destroyed by Bosnian Croat forces in November 1993 (it was rebuilt in 2004 and the reconstructed bridge is now a UNESCO World Heritage site). After the war, Mostar developed TWO parallel universities reflecting ethnic divisions: the Bosnian-language Džemal Bijedić University (this institution, serving primarily Bosniak students) and the Croatian-language Sveučilište u Mostaru (next entry, serving primarily Croat students). The two universities are physically close but largely separate — a real and documented challenge to post-war educational reconciliation.

Always confirm a university's current accreditation with the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an endorsement.
