University Of Bern Internationals

International to the core, the University of Bern is well anchored in an environment where research and teaching have no borders. Welcome to this page, run by External Relations @UniBE International. The University of Bern is a member of The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities. Our internationalism is amply reflected in the diverse backgrounds of the people working, studying and researching at our institution. Nearly 50 per cent of our professors joined the University of Bern from reputable universities abroad. Some 40 per cent of PhD students are international. And our students come from more than 120 nations. The University also has a dedicated internationalization strategy to ensure that this transversal issue permeates its entire fabric. Charged with its implementation is UniBE International. This office provides support with the development of projects to foster international cooperation in teaching and engages in international outreach for the University of Bern and ensures student mobility through exchange programs. It also manages external relations at the institutional level on the University's behalf. These relations stem from the University's participation in various higher education bodies, partnerships with other universities and public science-diplomacy networks.
