Mission Statement

The mission of IUS is to produce science, art, and technology, and present the results to the benefit of humanity; to educate free-thinking, participating, sharing, broad-minded individuals who are open to change and improvement, and who can transform knowledge into values for themselves and community. It is of the most important for Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the post-conflict and transitional society. The IUS, with its identity of an international institution of education and research, cooperates with universities in the region and in other countries to provide a peaceful and comfortable environment for learning for students.

International Role

In a world that is increasingly mobile and multinational, it is in the best interest of students and staff to experience studying with and in contexts other than their own. While IUS offers this chance through its international student and staff body, connecting to other regions and institutions abroad is an integral part of being a true international. IUS Strategy Document – https://www.ius.edu.ba/important-documents/ius-strategy – specifically mentions Internationalization in its Mission statement, in Part 3 Educational Excellence and in Objective 11 under educational excellence actions. Thus, IUS seeks to increase its footprint abroad through various projects, mobility schemes such as Erasmus+, joint degrees, programs, summer and winter schools and other cooperation opportunities, for both students and staff, including its administrative units. IUS is currently ranked first in the ratio of total student number to student mobility numbers, and has made every effort to ensure nearly all staff members have benefited from the chance for mobility at least once (in every call, priority is given to applicants who have never been on exchange or have been on exchange fewer times than other candidates).
