Studying at Universität Bern with the IB

• swissuniversities rule; computer science or philosophy only as the sixth subject.

Apply online before the specified deadline and submit the documents needed to assess admission in paper form. Admission for international school-leaving certificates is based on country-specific admission requirements; for some countries the certificate differs considerably from the Swiss Matura, so applicants can only be admitted after passing the supplementary examination for studying at a Swiss university and, if need be, showing proof of a place at a university.

• Medicine, Dental Medicine and Veterinary Medicine have additional admission requirements and earlier application deadlines.
• Sport Science (major or minor 60 ECTS) has its own admission procedure.

• Published IB benchmark: 32 points, not counting the 3 core points (TOK and EE).
• Bachelor admission requires at least one of the following: an international university degree from a state or state-recognized university in an academic program lasting at least three years (trainings and Executive Master qualifications are not recognized), or fulfilling the country-specific admission requirements.
• Human, dental and veterinary medicine: EMS aptitude test.
