After the temporary accreditation, the University of Travnik was accredited in 2016, and entered in the Register of Accredited Higher Education Institutions kept in the Agency for the Development of Higher Education and Quality Assurance. Of the nine criteria assessed in the accreditation process, eight were assessed as fully met, and one as significantly met. Given the exceptional success achieved during the accreditation in 2016, the excellent grades during the renewal of the accreditation were not surprising. In the process of renewal of accreditation launched in 2020, the University received a positive opinion by a five-member Commission of national and international experts who evaluate and revise the quality, and give recommendations on accreditation of higher education institutions. During the visit, within the institutional accreditation procedure, the Commission met with University management representatives, vice deans, academic staff, students of all cycles, administrative and technical staff, business representatives and student alumni. After a series of activities and procedures, the Commission prepared a report which determined that the University of Travnik met the requirements of standards and quality for issuing the accreditation decision. The accreditation of the University ensures that the diplomas of the University of Travnik continue to be recognized and acknowledged in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Europe and the world.
We are proud that the excellent work of the University of Travnik was recognized for the second time by the Agency for the Development of Higher Education and Quality Assurance and the appointed commission of experts. In the forthcoming period, the University of Travnik will continue to work hard to ensure the best conditions for acquiring knowledge to its students.
