History edit
Being formally established in early 1990s in the context of devastating Bosnian War and ethnic separation caused by the Breakup of Yugoslavia, the Faculty nominally belongs to the group of newer institutions of higher education. The faculty was however not built from scratch as the completely new institution. The new faculty was de facto simply a dissociated Serb section of the pre-war Faculty of Humanities of the University of Sarajevo which was transferred from downtown Sarajevo to the Republika Srpska controlled neighboring settlements.
Due to the war, more than 600 professors and several thousand students had to leave Sarajevo. Prior to that the city was the main university center of the Yugoslav constituent Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The group of university professors decided to renew the work of the Faculty of Philosophy in the Sarajevo suburbs where a large majority of Sarajevo Serbs sought refuge.[8] Modest wartime preconditions have been established and the Serb section of the Sarajevo Faculty has started working again, despite substantial obstacles created by the conflict.

On 16 September 2022 Faculty signed a cooperation agreement with the Institute for Contemporary History in Belgrade.[9] As of 2022, the Faculty of Philosophy is the largest higher education institution within the University of East Sarajevo, with 19 study programs on the first cycle, 16 on the second and 3 study programs on the third cycle, with about 2,000 students.'[2][10][11]
