The University of Mostar is a public university in the city of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The university has 10 faculties, eight institutes and one Academy of Fine Arts, and the student centre. There are 50 majors available, 46 specialisations, 70 study groups, and around 1,000 employees. Founded in 1977, the history of the university traces back to 1895, when a Franciscan theological school was established, and the university seal depicts the building of the Franciscan monastery. The university adopted the Croatian language as its official one in 1992, after the university split into two when the Bosnian professors left to form a new one with the old name – the University Džemal Bijedic of Mostar – and the original university was under the control of the Croatians. It is now the only Croatian speaking university in the country,
