Adnan Kovačević, student četvrte godine
Biotehničkog fakulteta Univerziteta u Bihaću odlučio je da neće biti dio
statistike koja bilježi odlazak mladih ljudi iz Bosne i Hercegodine. Svoje
akademsko znanje želi sticati na univerzitetima u BiH, i po završetku
primjeniti ga u zemlji u kojoj je rođen.
„Kao studentu koji je proveo jedan semestar na inostranom univerzitetu, to mi je u mnogo čemu otvorilo oči da uvidim koje su to razlike u načinu studiranja. Moram istaknuti da se dosta toga razlikuje, ali smatram da studenti pri povratku mogu usvojeno znanje primjeniti na sam tok svog studiranja, odnosno da pokušaju poboljšati uvjete studiranja na Univerzitetu u Bihaću“, kazao je Kovačević.
Kovačević je završio srednju Medicinsku
školu, ali nije želio kao većina njegovih kolega da nastavi studij u toj
oblasti, ili eventualno, zaposli se u nekoj od zdravstvenih ustanova u EU.
„Nakon završene srednje škole nisam se vidio
u toj struci, ali sam želio nastaviti obrazovanje. Smatram da je obrazovanje
jedina stvar koju nam niko u životu ne može uzeti i svi mladi ljudi koji su u
mogućnosti trebaju da ulažu u svoje obrazovanje, posebno na univerzitetima u
BiH, a ne van njenih granica. Jer, i ovdašnji obrazovni sistem nam može ponudi
mnogo toga“, kaže Kovačević.
Odlazak na Ćukurova univerzitet u Adanu u Turskoj omogućio mu je Ured za međunarodnu saradnju Univerziteta u Bihaću. Prema riječima Alme Bosnić, stručne savjetnice za međunarodnu saradnju Univerziteta u Bihaću, to je prilika da studenti od druge godine Prvog ciklusa studija, odnosno studenti na master i doktorskim studijama provedu najviše dva semestra na nekom od partnerskih univerziteta. Nakon završetka razmjene, studenti su u obavezi vratiti se na matične fakultete.
Bosnić ističe da je od 2017. godine
realizirano mnogo projekata razmjene
studenata i osoblja Univerziteta.
„Velika je zainteresiranost od strane
studenata za ovakve projekte. Aplicirati mogu svi studenti Univerziteta u
Bihaću, ali od druge godine Prvog ciklusa studija ukoliko se radi o njihovoj
oblasti koja je navedena u javnom pozivu. Neovisno je o njihovom prosjeku, jer
najčešće imamo onoliko stipendija koliko se i prijavi studenata. Ukoliko bude
više kandidata provodimo selekciju kandidata po određenim kriterijima. Ovo je
predivna prilika koja se nudi našim studentima, jer lijepo je upoznati nove
kulture, proširiti vidike, upoznati nove prijatelje i steći adekvatna znanja i
vještine koje tokom studija na matičnom fakultetu ne bi mogli“, kazala je
Bosnić.
Kovačević nije isključiv da ga životne okolnosti u budućnosti neće odvesti van granica BiH. Razumije razloge onih koji su se već odlučili na taj korak. Ističe da kao predsjednik Asocijacije studenata Biotehničkog fakulteta zna da je od 30 do 50 posto svršenih studenata nastavilo studij na nekom od inostranih univerziteta, posebno u Sloveniji. Jedan od razloga je financijske prirode, što znači da je master studij znatno jeftiniji nego u BiH. Pored studiranja moguće je ostvariti i radni odnos što je nažalost u našoj zemlji vrlo teško za studente. Master studij nastavit će u BiH, ali još uvijek nije siguran da li će to biti Bihać ili Sarajevo.
Not all
students want to leave BiH
Adnan
Kovacevic, a fourth-year student at the Biotechnical Faculty of the University
of Bihac, decided that he would not be part of the statistics that record the
departure of young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina. He wants to acquire his
academic knowledge at universities in B&H and, when he graduates, apply it
in the country where he was born.
“As a
student who spent one semester at a foreign university, it opened my eyes in
many ways to see what the differences were in the way I studied. I have to
point out that there is a lot of difference, but I believe that students can
apply the acquired knowledge to the course of their studies, ie to try to
improve the conditions of study at the University of Bihac”, Kovacevic said.
Kovacevic
graduated from medical high school but did not want to continue his studies in
the field, or possibly get a job in one of the EU health institutions, like
most of his colleagues.
"After
high school I did not see myself in that profession, but I wanted to continue
my education. I believe that education is the only thing that no one in our
lives can take, and all young people who are able should invest in their
education, especially at universities in B&H, not outside its borders.
Because the education system here can offer us a lot, too”, says Kovacevic.
Going to
Cukur University in Adan, Turkey, was made possible by the Office for
International Cooperation of the University of Bihac. According to Alma Bosnic,
expert advisor for international cooperation at the University of Bihac, it is
an opportunity for students from the second year of the First cycle of study,
ie students to master and doctoral studies to spend a maximum of two semesters
at one of the partner universities. Upon completion of the exchange, students
are required to return to their home faculties.
Bosnić
points out that since 2017, many University and student exchange projects have
been implemented.
"There
is a lot of interest from students in projects like this. All students of the
University of Bihac can apply, but from the second year of the First cycle of
study if they are in their field specified in the public invitation. It is
independent of their average, as we usually have as many scholarships as
students apply for. If there are more candidates, we carry out the selection of
candidates according to certain criteria. This is a wonderful opportunity
offered to our students, because it is nice to meet new cultures, widen
perspectives, make new friends and gain adequate knowledge and skills that they
would not be able to do during their studies at their home faculty”, said Bosnic.
Kovacevic is
not exclusive that life circumstances in the future will not take him beyond
the borders of B&H. He understands the reasons for those who have already
decided to take that step. He points out that as president of the Association
of Students of the Biotechnical Faculty, he knows that 30 to 50 percent of
graduates have gone on to study at one of the foreign universities, especially
in Slovenia. One of the reasons is financial in nature, which means that a
master`s degree is significantly cheaper than in B&H. In addition to
studying, it is possible to have a working relationship, which unfortunately in
our country is very difficult for students. He will continue his master`s
studies in B&H, but he is still uncertain whether it will be Bihac or
Sarajevo.
