Please be aware that study counselling is only one of several administrative and teaching roles we hold. You should expect to wait up to a week to receive a reply to a study counselling enquiry, so plan accordingly. Contacting the other study counsellor or Sannie Germann in the event you don’t get an immediate response often creates confusion and delays the handling of your query further.
Please note that all formal aspects of the admission procedure are handled by the office for Zulassung, Immatrikulation und Beratung (ZIB) (info.zib@unibe.ch), e.g., admission requirements, validation of external/international degrees, etc. The ZIB will confer with the Dean’s Office and the Department of English regarding the placement (Einstufung) of graduate students. Informal enquiries about study programmes offered at the Department of English may be directed to Assoziierter Prof. Dr. Axel Stähler.
