The UniNE’s administrative services – especially Academic Services (SACAD) – accompany and advise students throughout their studies, offering them various benefits in relation to exchange programmes, finance, health, apprenticeships, language learning and finding careers.

Everyday life

  • Are you looking for accommodation?
  • Do you need help with paperwork, such as the health insurance which you will need to live in Switzerland?
  • Are you facing financial difficulties?
  • Are you someone with specific needs, like a part-time worker, professional sportsperson or someone with a disability?

To balance your personal life with your professional life, the Equal Opportunities Office (BEC) implements and supports a range of measures guaranteeing the equal opportunities of women and men across the UniNE. It is designed with all members of the university community in mind, with specific measures intended for women as well as those who are responsible for family care.

Education

  • Mobility

The UniNE strongly encourages its students to undertake part of their programme at a different university, whether in Switzerland or further afield. On the Study Exchange Office website, you will find all the current options within Switzerland and beyond (Swiss-European Mobility), as well as the opportunities for financial assistance (grants, etc.). You will also find details of courses offered by other Swiss universities, as well as business internships.

Whether you are putting together a presentation, report, study or thesis, looking for relevant scientific articles, or simply searching for new information, the Academic Information and Library Service (SISB) is there to help.
