"My exchange at the University of Bern....

...will forever be one of the most memorable and significant chapters of my life. The atmosphere, both academically and culturally, was incredibly enriching. The teaching style at the University of Bern is quite distinct from what I was accustomed to at universities in Korea. Here, there was a stronger emphasis on independent learning, critical thinking, and fostering discussions during class, which allowed me to engage with the material on a deeper level. This approach encouraged me to take more initiative and explore subjects in a more self-directed manner."

"The University of Bern was incredibly welcoming...

...Their administrative team efficiently replied to emails promptly and answered my (many) questions before the start of my semester. The campus is beautiful, and the professors are passionate about their work. I truly have nothing negative to say.

"The university offered high-quality courses with dedicated professors...

...and the international office provided excellent support throughout the semester. Beyond academics, living in Bern gave me the chance to experience Swiss culture, make friends from all over the world, and enjoy the stunning natural scenery."
