Do you want to take part in the SUB? Then you've come to the right place!
The Student Union of the University of Bern (SUB) has been in existence for almost 100 years thanks to the commitment of the students. The SUB lives from your participation. Your voices, ideas and opinions are valuable because you have unique skills and perspectives that make up the diverse fabric of the SUB.
The SUB offers numerous opportunities for you to actively participate in projects that reflect your interests. Whether you are interested in culture, sport, social engagement or political issues. By getting involved, you can learn new skills, expand your network and develop your passions.
All SUB members studying the same subject together form a student council. They are the right place to get help with your subject and actively improve your everyday university life. They unite the students of a subject and represent their concerns in the institutes, departments and faculties.
The committees discuss important topics and make decisions that affect students, such as the direction of teaching and research, appointments, use of infrastructure and forward-looking processes in equality, digitalisation and sustainability. Student delegates can play an active role and have their own voice to represent the interests of students.
