PROFESSIONAL EXAMINATIONS

We can help you gain qualifications with some of the top professional institutions in the UK.

The British Council is a leading administrator for the UK professional examinations. If you want to take exams of any, and not only, UK university, institute or college, finish your studies or further improve your knowledge, British Council Bosnia and Herzegovina offers the perfect opportunity for you to achieve this.

Our services cover a wide range of vocational subjects and include examinations especially designed for the international market. To take advantage of this opportunity, you will need to register with the institutions in the UK and we will then arrange for your examinations to be set at our centre in Sarajevo.

As the official and authorised body in Bosnia and Herzegovina, British Council is an educational link between Bosnia and Herzegovina and United Kingdom.
