UniBE Mobile is the app that makes studying at the University of Bern easier. Tiresome gathering up was yesterday: Today, students use their smartphones to get information via UniBE Mobile. Not only can the timetable be displayed on the personalized home screen, but also the menus of the favorite canteen are available any time. Via the university library UB, students can browse through the book search and find a suitable place for self-study. The search for locations is particularly useful for first-year students - after all, no one wants to be late for a lecture. The A-Z directory provides important links to relevant information of the university and the city of Bern. In the person directory, all university employees can be found and contacted directly by mail or phone. The app sends the current grades via push notification, hopefully contributing to a successful study day. We don't want it to be up to us. We thank you for the download.
