ESN Bern

ESN Bern consists of around 30 volunteers who work to make the stay of incoming students in Bern as unforgettable as possible. We offer services such as a buddy system, cultural events, adventurous trips, parties, and the language café.

These activities help exchange students get to know their universities, the city of Bern, the country of Switzerland — and of course, meet locals. ESN Bern connects the University of Bern, the University of Applied Sciences, and the University of Teacher Education.

We are directly supported by the Bernese higher education institutions and we collaborate with different partners who provide financial and material support, so we can offer affordable events for incoming students.


This is us.
