University of Tuzla (Bosnian: Univerzitet u Tuzli) is a public university located in the city of Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The university was founded in 1958. It became a proper university in 1976, and today is one of the major institutions of higher learning in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
A college of mining was established in 1958 and Faculty of Chemical Engineering in 1959 as a first faculty outside University of Sarajevo, at which time the university had 159 students.
