What Fakultet Zdravstvenih Studija Sveučilišta u Mostaru does

Fakultet Zdravstvenih Studija Sveučilišta u Mostaru (Faculty of Health Studies, University of Mostar) is a public higher-education institution in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, operating as a constituent faculty of the University of Mostar. It delivers three-tier academic programs — undergraduate (Nursing, Midwifery, Physiotherapy, Sanitary Engineering, Radiological Technology), graduate (Clinical Physiotherapy and related specialties), and doctoral — and is the primary regional producer of allied health professionals serving the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina's public health system. Its core infrastructure consists of specialized teaching and research laboratories including a chemical laboratory, biochemical laboratory, cell culture laboratory, microbiology laboratory, a Health Care Simulation Cabinet (patient manikins, EKG, infusion pumps), and a Kinesitherapy and Rehabilitation Cabinet (force plates, 3D posture analysis, gait analysis treadmill). Clinical training is embedded through a structural partnership with University Clinical Hospital Mostar, which also co-operates the Infertility Research Center alongside the Faculty of Medicine.

Revenue is generated through student tuition and enrollment fees under a subscription-style recurring model, supplemented by competitive research grants from agencies such as ICGEB, the Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ), the Federal Ministry of Education and Science, and EU mobility programs (Erasmus+, CEEPUS, EUPeace). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set under federal and university regulations. The institution serves a primarily domestic student base with international mobility extending to more than 20 partner universities across Europe; it does not function as a commercial enterprise and reports no external investors or equity ownership. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-student: centralized admission, on-campus delivery, clinical placement through the University Clinical Hospital, and e-learning via the SUMARUM platform and Studomat student information system.
