Compass UniBE – university preparation for refugee students
Compass UniBE is a two-semester university preparation program that prepares you linguistically, professionally and organizationally for possible admission to a course of study at the University of Bern.
If you have an academic background or at least a foreign upper secondary school-leaving certificate and already have a good command of German (level B1) as well as high motivation to spend a year preparing for your studies, then Compass UniBE may be the right choice for you.
Detailed information on the program and admission requirements can be found under “Compass UniBE”.
