Why South African Students Choose Foca

South Africa's medical school spots are among the most competitive in the world. Private medical education in SA costs far more than a full degree abroad - yet delivers the same EU-recognised qualification. At the Medical Faculty Foca (University of East Sarajevo), South African graduates earn a degree recognised across the EU, with a clear pathway to HPCSA registration back home.

EU Recognition

Your degree is recognised under EU Directive 2005/36/EC - the gold standard for medical qualifications worldwide.

HPCSA Pathway

South African students can apply to the Health Professions Council of South Africa for registration after graduation. We guide you through the process.

Affordable Fees

Tuition is a fraction of SA private medical school costs - without compromising on quality or EU recognition.

Full Visa Support

We handle your Bosnian student visa, travel arrangements, and accommodation from day one.
