The teaching at the University of East Sarajevo is organized and conducted during the academic year. The academic year typically begins on October 1st and lasts for 12 calendar months. The study year is organized into two semesters, with each semester planning 15 weeks of teaching in the winter and summer semesters, totaling 30 weeks per year. During the study year, students attend classes in the form of lectures, exercises, seminars, professional practice, fieldwork, etc.
The remaining weeks are allocated for other forms of teaching, such as group consultations, completing certain study obligations, final exams, and breaks between semesters.
The start of the winter and summer semesters for each academic year is determined by a decision of the University Senate, which approves the academic calendar for the current academic year.
