Press release: Medschool Experts is the largest international partner agency of the University of East Sarajevo

Σύντομη απάντηση
In 2026 Medschool Experts is the largest international partner agency of the University of East Sarajevo in Foča by student numbers.
What does the figure mean?
In the 2026 academic year, Medschool Experts placed more students at the Faculty of Medicine in Foča at the University of East Sarajevo than any other partner agency worldwide. The benchmark is the plain number of students.
The gap to the next-largest agencies from Italy and Greece is around 30 per cent. Ten students came to the location from India in the same period.
Why Foča in particular?
The location combines several points that rarely come together elsewhere. The annual fee is 3.500 Euro in human medicine and dentistry, and 2.500 Euro in nursing. It is a state faculty that also receives co-funding through international programmes.
The faculty is listed in ANABIN with the highest status, H+, and has been accredited to WFME standards since 2025, valid until 2033. Teaching is in English. In human medicine, the entire final practical year can be completed at a German teaching hospital.
What else the location offers
Foča lies on the Drina in the east of the country, directly on the edge of Sutjeska National Park. The faculty and the university hospital form one connected campus, and the town centre is two kilometres away. The nearest airport is Sarajevo, 80 kilometres away, from where Wizz Air flies to Memmingen, Dortmund, Berlin and Basel, among other destinations.
{{cta}}What follows from this
The figure is not an end in itself for us. Above all it means that we know the location and its procedures as well as almost anyone — from the admissions process through finding accommodation to later recognition. That is exactly the experience we pass on to our students.
An important point of context: Bosnia and Herzegovina is not part of the European Union. For later professional registration in Germany, the knowledge test (Kenntnisprüfung) applies instead of the automatic recognition under Directive 2005/36/EC.
The author's view
I am pleased about this figure, but it is not the reason we recommend the location. The reason is that Foča brings together something I do not see anywhere else in this combination: a state faculty, ANABIN H+, WFME accreditation, 3.500 Euro per year and a final practical year that can be completed in Germany.
What the figure means in practice: we have now supported so many students there that we know the typical stumbling blocks before they occur. That is the real value — not a position in a ranking.
And I am equally clear about what does not come with it: Bosnia is a non-EU country. Anyone who wants to work in Germany later goes through the knowledge test (Kenntnisprüfung). We factor that in from the start, not only at the end.

What does the claim about being the largest partner agency refer to?
To the number of students placed at the Faculty of Medicine in Foča in the 2026 academic year. The benchmark is the number of students, not revenue or the number of enquiries.
How large is the gap to the other agencies?
Around 30 per cent compared with the next-largest partner agencies from Italy and Greece. Ten students came to the location from India in 2026.
What distinguishes Foča as a location?
The annual fee is 3.500 Euro in human medicine and dentistry and 2.500 Euro in nursing. The faculty is state-run, listed in ANABIN with the highest status, H+, and accredited to WFME standards since 2025, valid until 2033.
Can the final practical year be completed in Germany?
In human medicine, the entire final practical year can be completed at a German teaching hospital.
Is Bosnia and Herzegovina in the EU?
No. For professional registration in Germany, recognition therefore runs through the knowledge test (Kenntnisprüfung). That is an established route, and it should be set up properly from the outset.

Marcel Kloos
Swiss-licensed dentist, founder and owner of Medschool Experts
Marcel Kloos is the founder and owner of Medschool Experts, a placement agency for medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine and pharmacy degrees abroad. Since 2021 the team has secured more than 500 study places at over 25 partner universities in Europe and worldwide.
Study medicine abroad: Marcel's own path
Born in Stuttgart, Marcel started his degree late: at 24 he enrolled at the Medical University of Sofia, Faculty of Dental Medicine, and graduated in 2021 from the English-language programme. He went through the same steps his clients face today — nostrification of school certificates, entrance interviews, finding a flat in Sofia and later the recognition of a foreign degree. In Switzerland he completed the federal recognition procedure and holds a Swiss dental licence.
What Marcel does at Medschool Experts
Today Marcel lives in Bern and runs Medschool Experts full-time. He visits every partner university in person, negotiates placement agreements directly with faculties and deans, and leads the free consultations in which applicants learn at which university they can start next semester. His YouTube channel on studying medicine abroad has helped thousands of applicants compare universities, costs and recognition.
Topics Marcel writes about
- Study medicine abroad without an entrance exam: universities, costs and admission
- Study dentistry, veterinary medicine or pharmacy in Europe in English
- Tuition fees and living costs at medical schools in Europe and worldwide
- Recognition of foreign medical degrees in the EU, Switzerland, the UK and the US
- Transferring between medical schools and returning home into a higher semester
