Celebrating Outstanding Achievements in Physics and Math!

This month, the 29th Federal Physics Competition for secondary school students took place at the Faculty of Science in Sarajevo, bringing together 118 of the brightest young minds from across the region.

We are incredibly proud to share that our student, Nedim Begović, won 2nd place in this highly competitive event! His achievement also earned him an invitation to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina at the International Physics Olympiad later this year — an incredible honor and testament to his dedication.

Just a week earlier, our student Gloria Tang brought home another proud moment for our school by placing 5th in the Federal Mathematics Competition in the third-grade category. Gloria stood out as the only international student in the competition — a true example of how excellence knows no borders.

Please join us in congratulating Nedim and Gloria for their brilliant achievements. Their success is a reflection of hard work, passion, and the vibrant spirit of our learning community. ... See MoreSee Less

We took a break, hit the trails, and soaked in the views – and it was so worth it!

Grateful for good company, clear skies, and moments like these hiking to Velež-Botin.

Wishing everyone a great rest of the week! ... See MoreSee Less

Provide a homey atmosphere for UWC Mostar students during scheduled academic breaks. Through this volunteer program, families welcome students into their homes for a night, a weekend or for a longer break. For students, it’s a respite from residence studies and a chance to develop close relationships with BiH families.

Who we are

Entering the Mostar Gimnazija in 2006, our school building was still partly in ruin from a war that had ended only a decade before. Now, after more than twenty years of peace, UWC Mostar stands as a bright model for post-conflict education and reconciliation. Though national divisions in Bosnia and Herzegovina persist — we are still the only school in the country where Bosniak, Croat, and Serb youth live and go to school together — the college has affirmatively grounded itself in our community. And with nearly 200 students from 72 countries, staff from 10 countries, and with 1098 alumni all around the world, the global family of UWC Mostar grows year by year.

Learning in Mostar

We learn in Mostar through late night talks in rooms, on walks from residence to school, sharing coffee with refugees in service activities, collecting oral histories for Balkan Studies projects, in buses traveling around the region for project weeks and, of course, through inspiring classes that aim to reimagine our relationships with facts and ideas that shape these worlds outside the classroom. While the International Baccalaureate forms the foundation for academics, any UWC Mostar student will tell you that the intellectual and emotional growth you undergo here cannot be contained by the IB. We are committed to the fact that learning takes place in the everyday.

Living in Mostar

At UWC Mostar, the city is our campus, and our campus is the city. Unique amongst UWCs, our students and staff live all around the city of Mostar. We share our main school building with the Mostar Gimnazija, one of the best secondary schools in the country. Our cultural performances are held in a city youth center. Teachers and students meet in local coffee shops to discuss academics and plan the community festivals we host for the community. Music at the Sarajevo Jazz Festival are a short bus ride away. Integration and engagement are essential practices, core to our daily existence.
