There are two ways to credit external academic attainments:
a) For students who are not yet enrolled at the University of Bern:
Prospective students should contact the Admissions Office (ZIB), which will clarify the admissions requirements for individual applicants.
Next, if you require an assessment (‘Einstufung’), please send a formal written request to the examination panel of the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences, explaining your situation and your query.
The address is:
University of Bern
Prüfungskommission der WISO-Fakultät
Schanzeneckstrasse 1
Postfach
CH-3001 Bern
The following documents must be enclosed with the request:
- Detailed transcript of records
- CV
Please follow the procedure explained in the section ‘Study abroad semester/SEMP’ below to credit academic achievements that have been attained (no matter whether the academic achievements were undertaken at another university in Switzerland or abroad).
The same procedure applies for students from abroad. However, in this case, the documents required must be sent to the Admissions Office instead of the examination panel.
The address is:
University of Bern
Admissions Office
Hochschulstrasse 4
CH-3012 Bern
b) For students who are already enrolled at the University of Bern:
Please consult the section ‘Study abroad semester/SEMP’
