Tehnički fakultet Bihać

What Tehnički fakultet Bihać does

Tehnički fakultet Bihać (TFB), legally Tehnički fakultet Univerziteta u Bihaću, is a public higher-education institution operating as a constituent faculty of the University of Bihać in Una-Sana Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The faculty traces its origin to the 1970s establishment of Viša tehnička škola Bihać and now delivers three-cycle engineering education (Bachelor, Master Engineer, Doctor of Technical Sciences) across five departments: Mechanical, Electrical, Wood Industry, Civil Engineering, and Textile. Cumulative output since founding is 7,500+ enrolled students, 3,098 undergraduate graduates, 79 master's, and 22 doctoral graduates, supported by 16 reported employees and modern laboratory infrastructure (mechanical testing, materials, polymers, composites, tribology, engineering ceramics, multimedia studio, and design labs).

Revenue is generated primarily through subsidized tuition (200 KM regular, 800 KM self-funded, 1,200 KM part-time per year) and supplemented by EU and government project funding, including the Erasmus+ WBNET free short programs in IT and Multimedia. Go-to-market is event-driven: the faculty recruits via secondary-school visits, open-door days, and a two-cycle annual admission process through an electronic platform, with all instruction delivered on campus or via online/hybrid for short programs. The customer base is fragmented individual students — primarily high-school graduates in the Una-Sana Canton — with a secondary segment of working professionals accessing EU-funded continuing education.

Strategically, TFB is leaning on internationalization and partnership-driven program expansion: a June 2026 cooperation agreement with FSB Zagreb, ongoing Erasmus+ WBNET and CEEPUS network participation, an interdisciplinary Forestry & Wood Industry program, and industry-linked seminars such as DIGITAL WOOD. Leadership under Dean Prof.dr. Damir Hodžić received the 2026 Plaketa from the Rector's Conference of Bosnia and Herzegovina, reinforcing national-level institutional credibility.
