Courses offered

Compass UniBE offers a wide range of courses as well as mentoring and individual advice. You will attend courses held exclusively for Compass UniBE, as well as selected courses from the regular study programs of the University of Bern. In addition to compulsory courses and elective courses, optional courses and workshops are offered. Depending on interests, previous education and learning needs, the timetable is compiled individually and can therefore correspond to a full-time or part-time program.

Depending on the course selection and phase of the program, Compass UniBE participants attend an approximate average of 20 lessions per week. The same amount of preparation and follow-up work can be expected for each lesson.
