Bosnia & Herzegovina. IUS is also an associate member of the European University

Association (EUA).

The International University of Sarajevo has a uniquely international character. Our

university has students from all over the world and academic staff with extensive

international experience and expertise. This gives IUS a special kind of quality that make it

distinct from other major world universities. Such direct interaction with other international

students gives our students the unique opportunity to experience and learn about numerous

different cultures within the increasly growing confines of our university. This allows our

graduates not only to acquire practical knowledge, but this also allows for them to develop

other competences and experiences that will make them excel in an increasingly competitive

global job market.

At IUS our English Language and Literature Studies Program provides students the

opportunity to study in English, read international scientific and expert journals via our

continually expanding set of databases, and utilize the best sources from relevant fields that

ensure a high quality education in English Language and Literature studies. Such resources

help provide critical insight into contemporary movements in modern global trends.

The English Language and Literature programme curriculum is in line with the Bologna

system and B&H national qualification framework. Students of this programme have the

opportunity to explore the other academic disciplines taught at the IUS via a large choice of

elective courses that broaden their intellectual capabilities. Graduates are awarded a bilingual

diploma in English and in one of the official languages in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The first


2

study cycle curriculum also meets the requirements for obtaining a BA degree in English

Language and Literature as determined by the Council of Higher Education of Turkey -

CoHE (YÖK).

TheFounding of IUS

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) offers programs to obtain academic titles

from various areas of arts, social and cultural sciences. Programs currently available at the

faculty are:

DEPARTMENT OF ARTS

• Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design

SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARMENT

• Social and Political Science

Our students

Student involment in the decission-making process

The Student Parliament (SPIUS) represents students' interests and acts on their behalf to

ensure the realisation of student rights. The Student Parliament (SPIUS) also appoints

representatives to the University bodies to ensure that all rights of students are protected and

that students are involved in the decision making process.

Student representatives are also involved in the process of curricula development, as well as

their evaluation and implementation and periodical analyses of study programs.

Academic Advising

IUS pays special attention to Academic Advising of students throughout their studies. Within

study programs, the dean assigns an informal academic adviser to each student, who

supervises and evaluates the student’s progress, and advises them on matters of compulsory

and elective courses that they need to register for in order to graduate. During the course

registration period, every student is required to consult their academic adviser about choosing

the right courses and course registration for the next semester. The academic adviser approves

the list of elected subjects at the beginning of each semester.

Promoting Student Mobility

International Relations Office of the International University of Sarajevo (IRO) works

intensively to promote student mobility through a number of exchange programs such as

Erasmus+ and Mevlana. Students are granted ECTS credits obtained during the exchange,

and the IR staff advises students and helps them to make appropriate choices.

Students' Clubs

IUS has many extracurricular activities that enrich student academic experience. Currently,

the University hosts 19 student clubs, including: IUS Rock Band, Entrepreneurship Club of

IUS, The Club of Intellectual Activities (CIA), IUS Football Club, CASES (Culture Art

Social Education Sports), SOS Club (Scouting and Outdoor Sports), and Club ROSA

Quality Assurance

Quality assurance at the level of a study program includes the process of study program

development itself. Consultations with teachers, area experts, students, the labour market,

employers’ representatives and local community representatives are defined as mandatory.

During the implementation of a study program, regular analyses of all key study program

implementation indicators are performed. The system of implementation of the curriculum

and student evaluation provides sufficient autonomy to each academic staff member in order

to adjust teaching methods and assessment in each course. Nonetheless, clearly defined

standards at university level are still observed. Such a system ensures transparency in the

assessment process and at the same time allows for customization for each teacher and

student.

European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS)

Semester curriculum is organized through the courses whose values are expressed in the

entries of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) in order to facilitate the student

exchange programs all over Europe.

Total prescribed ECTS credits are awarded after a student sits for an exam and after they are

graded, and the achievements in the learning outcomes are defined by F, FX to A scale, i.e.

from 5 to 10. ECTS system applies to all student transfers.

All courses have a code that clearly indicates their content. The course numbering system has

three digits for each course, with the first digit indicating the level of the course (study year),

as follows: 100-199; 200-299; 300-399 and 400-499 for four years of study of the first study

cycle; 500-599 for second study cycle, 600-899 for third study cycle.

The abbreviation before the number indicates the program offered by the course. For

instance, the code ARCH 101 denotes the course in the field of architecture intended for the

first year of the first study cycle.


7

Differences in content and value of courses are expressed through the number of hours that

were planned for lectures, training or independent work (3 +0 or 2 +2 or 2 +1 +2).

Students’ internship provision, in duration of at least 30 days, is a mandatory requirement for

every study programme at the University.

Study length, the awarding of ECTS credit points and the diploma supplement

Information on study length and the awarding of ECTS study credits to students who

completed their studies successfully per study cycles is shown in the table below:

Students who graduate are awarded with a diploma and a diploma supplement that state:

qualification awarded, names of subjects, projects realized, final paper/project grade, number

of ECTS points awarded, average grade for each semester, overall GPA and other elements

defined by the law.

Teaching and Assessment Methods

Teaching methods applied at the University vary significantly depending on the faculty and

discipline. In general, the courses of natural science have a tendency towards larger structure

and more formal lessons than subjects of humanities and social sciences.

An important component of studying at the IUS is independent learning, and special attention

is given to individual office hours with students. Academic staff combine many teaching

approaches to achieve specified learning goals and to motivate students to study.

Teaching Methods

Implementation of teaching can take several forms, but it usually involves a combination of

the following:

- During lectures, printed materials, slides or presentations on a computer are commonly

used, but the main focus is on listening to lecturers.

- Assistants usually deliver lessons (tutorials) in small groups where individual attention is

given to students. Tutorials usually complement lectures, but are more topic-specific. For

example, they may include activities such as solving problems or having discussions on

particular topics broadly discussed during lectures.

- Most subjects involve some form of practical work, such as weekly sessions in the

laboratory where students acquire technical and research skills.

- Internships (min 30 working days) have been designed in a way that offers students

opportunities to experience on-the-job training and make well-informed decisions about their

future careers.

Independent Learning

Apart from attending lectures and practical classes, students spend a great part of their

weekdays in independent learning that includes reading relevant materials, research, studying

in the reading room, doing homework, writing term papers and reports, group or individual

projects and presentations.

Types of Assessment

At the International University of Sarajevo, written, oral and practical assessment methods

are used. Assessment is conducted by testing, that is, assessing written and practical work and

examination suitable to the specific program, specified learning goals, and grading

procedures. Examinations in field of Arts are taken in front of a commission. All types of

assessment are public.


9

Office hours

Course instructors have office hours with students on regular basis. In order to help students

understand the course contents and achieve the learning aims of a course, office hours are

facilitated through different means, like office meetings, meetings in the classroom,

consulting via email or modern IT apps such as Moodle.

Assessment

After completing all the required examinations, final results are assessed and graded

according to the following scale, which corresponds with ECTS grading scale:

a) 10 (A) - remarkable success without error or with negligible errors, carries 95-100 points;

b) 9 (B) – above average, with few mistakes, equivalent to 85-94 points; c) 8 (C) – average, with noticeable mistakes, equivalent to 75-84 points; d) 7 (D) - generally good, but with more significant flaws, equivalent to 65-74 bodova; e) 6 (E) – meets the minimum criteria, equivalent to 55-64 points; f) 5 (F, FX) – does not meet the minimum criteria, less than 55 points.

Introduction to the Discipline and Qualification

In contemporary English departments today, studying English may include everything from

mastering English as a foreign language to exploring the rich linguistic and cultural heritage

of the English-speaking world.

English Language and Literature programs are expected to offer a broad and balanced

curriculum that exposes their students to many forms of written texts, both literary and non-

literary, while providing them with the theoretical framework necessary to read, comprehend,

interpret and produce texts written in English. A successful English program trains students to

appreciate the English language and understand its structure. It also gives students the

opportunity to acquire knowledge of second language teaching methodology, while

developing their skills of critical thinking and efficient verbal communication.

The act of reading and interpreting English texts is a context-based practice and the

contemporary student of English Language and Literature should learn how the cultural and

historic context of a specific text can help shape our understanding and explanation of that


10

text. To properly comprehend the various contexts that produced a literary text requires some

familiarity with various subjects and academic disciplines beyond English. Since English is

an interdisciplinary field of study, the program should also introduce students to other

disciplines, such as psychology, linguistics, pedagogy, history, art, film or cultural studies.

Successful graduates of this program must complete 240 ECTS in an average of four years of

study. The program foresees that, within the first two years of studies, students acquire

general interdisciplinary knowledge and are introduced to the area of English language and

literature. Within their first two years, students should learn about the most important literary

forms in English Literature and their evolution. Later on, students will learn about the most

influential writers and thinkers in the English-speaking world, the structure of English

language and the methodology of teaching English as a second language. After completing

the required courses, students are asked to choose area electives through which they will

deepen their knowledge and understanding of English language and other areas of interest.

Candidates can apply to the second study cycle of the program only after their completion of

240 ECTS in their undergraduate study. The Master of Arts program in English Language and

Literature aims at giving graduate students advanced approach to English literature, English

language and the English teaching methodology. The MA degree is open to candidates who

hold a BA degree in English Language and Literature, American Culture or American

Literature, Linguistics, English language teaching track and Comparative Literature. In order

to successfully complete the Second Study Cycle, students must complete 60 ECTS.

Having completed 300 ECTS during the first and second study cycle, candidates can apply to

the third study cycle. Those with an MA in English Language and Literature, American

Culture or American Literature, Linguistics, English Language Teaching, Comparative

Literature, or a related field, may apply to the third study cycle. Students must complete 180

ECTS credits during the third study cycle. They will accumulate 60 ECTS credits through

attending lectures and enrolling in required and elective courses, as set forth in the

curriculum. Another 120 ECTS will be completed through the composition and defense of

their final PhD thesis. The minimum length of the third study cycle is three years.

Goals of the Study Programme

The English Language and Literature program (ELIT) aims at endowing students with

advanced English language skills and developing their ability to make critical and

sophisticated interpretations of texts and to teach English as the second language. In addition,

the study program offers experience in research activities and development of a variety of

skills that will help students to succeed in their future careers.

Employability

English has become a standard global means of communication across the world. Thus, every

day the number of people who want to communicate in a globalized world increases, causing

a mounting demand for experts who could communicate effectively and teach English. The

European perspective of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the upcoming Euro-Atlantic integration

processes also rapidly reinforce the need for the above communication skills. There is also a

need for people who can understand the cultural and intellectual dimensions associated with

the English Language, and can express themselves in the adequate way, crossing realistic or

“imaginary” boundaries. Based on the above, the University wants to offer a quality program

that will enable a wide range of professional features to the students of English Language and

Literature study program. After graduation, graduates, postgraduates and Ph.D. students in

English Language and Literature will be able to pursue their careers as:

• instructors in schools of English language at universities and private institutions;

• teachers of English language and literature in elementary and secondary schools;

• experts in English language and literature engaged in publishing houses, newspapers and

television networks, the cinematography, journalism and marketing;

• teachers or experts in the field at universities (working as researchers);

• experts in English language employed in the field of tourism, public relations,

international relations, human resources, etc.

First Study Cycle

Aims and Profile of the First Study Cycle

The English Language and Literature Undergraduate Program offers advanced language skills and

critical thinking in English and literature. The program enables students to study in detail English

language and literature in a sequential way from the period of old English to the present. Students

will not only gain a higher level of English proficiency, but will acquire fundamental knowledge in

linguistics in their first two years. Since there is a close relationship between the construction of

literature and the historical period in which it was composed, the students shall study English

literature in relation to the social, cultural, political, historical, economical, and religious

background of each period in British, European and American history.

While studying English literature, students also focus upon far-reaching research and analytical

methods to build up their creative skills, understanding and production. When they finish the

program, they can analyze independently any literary text and reach their own conclusion. The

program, besides giving knowledge about English language and literature, also provides them with

the opportunity to develop their artistic skills and become individuals equipped with independent

thinking. The program also encourages students to engage with courses from other faculties and

programs, which enable them to think in an interdisciplinary way. Students in the English Language

Teaching track will have a substantial background in language pedagogy and Education, which will

serve them well if they choose to work in the Education sector in Bosnia or abroad. Finally, the

ELIT study program also provides students with a rich foundation for entry into graduate studies

after their first study cycle.

Goals and objectives of the study program are as follows:

• To enhance the level of students’ English competency and improve their language skills.

• To ensure that students can use their language skills properly and effectively.

• To expose students to the range and variety of approaches to literary study, which may include creative practice, performance, and extensive specialisation in critical, educational or linguistic theory.

• To demonstrate how literature and language produce and reflect cultural change

and difference.


17

• To help students recognize the multi-faceted nature of English Language and Literature, and of its complex relationship to other disciplines and forms of knowledge.

• To provide a groundwork for interdisciplinary study.

• To promote an atmosphere for the practical activities of scholarship in English Literature and Language.

• To prepare students for professional life after their graduation

The time required to complete the first cycle of studies is four years of study or eight semesters.

Each semester, Faculty Council establishes a list of courses to ensure optimal implementation of the

adopted curriculum on the semester basis.

The list of oferred courses for each semester is the optimal number of required and elective courses

that are essential for teaching in the semester. This allows optimum student load, on the one hand

(registered courses up to 30 credits), and load optimization of teaching staff engaged in the

semester. In the context of curriculum realization, this means that the academic staff is appointed

according to the scientific field (higher number of courses) where the required courses are offered

each academic year, while the elective courses are offered and implemented in accordance with the

expressed interest of students.

After successful completion of the first study cycle, the student is entitled to the award of

professional title: Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature.

Learning Outcomes of the First Study Cycle

The learning outcomes of the first study cycle are formulated along the lines of national and

international practice. When defining learning outcomes of English Language and Literature, study

program directives of EQF and NQF are fully taken into account, together with the existing practice

in BiH, and the needs of society. Students, employers and the wider community, foreign and local

experts are all consulted and, most importantly, the reference points within the European higher

Education Area are used. These reference points are generally accepted guidelines and examples of


18

good practice, standards and norms of individual national systems of higher education, as well as

guidelines for quality assurance agencies. In this case study program of English language and

literature reference points used as the basis for defining learning outcomes listed below are:

a) Decision on Amendments to the Decision on the criteria for the accreditation of higher

education institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

b) Shared ’Dublin’ descriptions for Short Cycle, First Cycle, Second Cycle and Third Cycle

Awards

c) The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education Subject benchmark statement English

language and literature 2007

d) Council of Europe, Towards a Europien Higher Education Area, 7 Key Strategies and

Guidelines to implement the Bologna Process.

After successful completion of first cycle studies, students will:

1. Detect relations between the nature of language, the concept of meaning and

sociocultural variables.

2. Understand a significant number of texts from various periods of English literature

according to the principles of some models of literary criticism.

3. Identify different approaches to the analysis of spoken and written text, analyzing

sentences and groups of sentences, vocabulary analysis, analysis of spoken

interaction, the interpretation of literary practice, the study of (none) standard

languages and the standardization process.

4. Describe the fundamental values and principles of teaching through a personal

educational stance that relies on the fundamental knowledge and understanding of

the domain of educational studies.

5. Demonstrate understanding of generic conventions and discourse variables that

determine factors such as authorship, creation of texts, target audiences and critical

reading.

6. Interpret literary and non-literary texts, relying on the concepts and theories that

are prevalent in the English language.

7. Communicate fluently and correctly in English at level C1.


19

8. Transmit knowledge on various topics orally and in writing.

informal contexts.

13. Gather data from various sources in order to explore the deeper understanding of

their sphere of interest.

Curriculum of the First Study Cycle

In order to ensure interdisciplinary studies at IUS, the structure of the study is developed. According

to this structure, first year of study is common to all IUS students. During the first year of study,

students attend university courses that include topics in mathematics, economics, communications,

science and technology, law and ethics, the English language and the history of civilization.

Students must successfully pass ten university courses, of which seven are mandatory and three

optional courses that students choose from the university's list of subjects.

The objectives of university courses are:

1. to offer students an innovative, in-depth perspective of the world, their society and

themselves;

2. to supply the students , not only with the basic knowledge, but also to develop and

encourage critical thinking on a wide range of topics;

3. to enable students to make a decision on the main field of study which will be based

on their preferences, talents and complete information about the field of study for

which they are interested.

In the second year students take faculty courses. The aim of these courses is to provide students of


20

the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences a broader knowledge in the field of social sciences and the

arts. Students are required to pass the faculty subjects carrying a total of 30 ECTS credits.

Students are profiled for final profession through compulsory and optional program subjects. By

studying these courses, students gain a knowledge of English language and literature, and are

introduced to both classical and contemporary methodologies of teaching the English language.

Students of the first cycle study program must pass 22 subjects in this group, which makes a total

of 132 ECTS study points.

In addition to the subjects in the field of English language and literature, students are encouraged to

choose at least three subjects from other scientific areas within the University to acquire additional

interdisciplinary knowledge and skills of their choice, thus gaining an additional 18 ECTS credits.

If students express a desire not to elect additional courses from other disciplines, they have the

ability to select subjects from the category of elective courses in the field of English Language and

Literature.

Having completed the necessary courses, students are assigned mentors and start writing their

thesis. The topic for this research-based paper will be selected in consultation with a mentor and the

chair of the graduate department, and will be written as specified by the university’s Graduate

Regulations. Plagiarism or missed deadlines will result in failure.

The process of writing a successful thesis requires that students first identify an existing problem or

“issue,” or “question,” in their field, which needs to be researched or “solved,” or “answered,”

properly. Strategic options for a solution or answer must also be formulated prior to the actual

writing. This is where the thesis statement begins to take shape. The thesis should be approximately

100 pages long and follow a consistent citation style and format, agreed upon by the student and

mentor in keeping with University standards.

Students must present and defend their thesis orally before a committee in a formal presentation (or

defense) and be prepared to answer any questions from the committee at the conclusion of the

presentation. During the oral defense (and of course in the writing) of the thesis, students must use

appropriate language to present their research to an audience, with the aid of appropriate media, in

an effort to rationally persuade listeners of the rigor of their work.

Having completed successfully the Second Study Cycle of the English Language and Literature

program, students acquire the following title: Master of Arts in English Language and

Literature.

Aims and Profile of the Third Study Cycle

The study of English Language and Literature is an interdisciplinary academic endeavor,

encompassing fields as various as history, philosophy, linguistics, traditional and contemporary arts,

film and media studies, psychology and digital technology. The postgraduate PhD program offers

students an opportunity to explore literary works in their cultural and historical context, conduct

research in their chosen literary genre or literary figure, and develop a comprehensive research

methodology. The program is meant to prepare PhD candidates for a life in academia, research and

education. Once they complete the program they can contribute to the advancement of the field;

they can improve upon society’s understanding of literature, its place within a civilization, and its

impact across many cultures and contemporary mediums. After successful completion of the PhD

program, graduates will become literary scholars capable of analyzing and evaluating written texts


32

(and other forms of cultural expression), as well as judging and synthesizing complex ideas in

Anglo-American, European and World literature. They will be able to independently design and

implement a substantial research project that can be published and shared with their peers within a

scholarly community. They will also be able to lecture on many subjects and share their insight on

critical issues within the field of English Language and Literature. The scope of the program makes

our PhD graduates skilled editors or writers with the critical thinking and research skills necessary

for a career in academic institutions as professors, administrators and educators. Some graduates

may also pursue a career in industries as various as publishing, media and communication,

journalism. Others can pursue a career in business, legal, government as well as international

organizations.

thesis exam are required for the successful completion of the program.

Learning Outcomes of the Third Study Cycle

In the first year of the program, students take a variety of courses to cultivate their understanding of

the historical progression of English literature, as well as its aesthetic and critical heritage.

Postgraduate students will explore subject areas related to literature and culture while surveying the

critical debates and theoretical approaches surrounding the analysis of literary discourse. Students

will learn how to discuss and explain the intersection of literary forms with other forms of cultural

discourse such as Art, History, Science, Film and Mass Media, British, American and European

writers as well as authors from around the world. Works of literature will be explored in relation to

a Western literary tradition and its philosophical and social context since the Enlightenment.

Students are expected to examine a number of literary works and formulate a solid research project

in relation to more contemporary questions regarding gender, globalization, postmodernism,

postcolonial subjects or literary production in the digital age.

After the first year of the program, students take a comprehensive exam designed by their chosen

graduate advisor. In the second year of the program, PhD candidates focus on writing their PhD

thesis, conducting research, attending academic conferences and taking extra courses within their

area of research. It is in the second year that PhD candidates are able to cultivate their research

methodology, meet peers and fellow scholars, and learn how to begin their career as professors and
