Studying at Bern University of Teacher Education for one semester is a great personal and professional enrichment: For one there is the possibility of taking courses for different age groups. Secondly, many of the lecturers are teachers themselves and therefore you will receive many practical tips and advice on everyday life as a teacher. 

On a personal level I enjoy the bilingualism of the canton of Berne, the proximity to the mountains and of course, Bern as a city itself. 

My advice for future Incoming students: Do not panic at the beginning of the semester, it can be overwhelming, but with the help of the International Office and the teachers, all will sort itself out.
