This Scholarship program supports highly motivated and qualified US undergraduate and graduate students to live and to do research at a Swiss university for 2 - 3 months. It can only go into effect on the basis of an agreement between a Swiss and a US University. ISEP qualifies as such an agreement. There are only 10-14 of these scholarships to be given for all Swiss Universities. More information is provided here.
The Universität Bern can nominate an ISEP student for one of these scholarships if they study one of the following fields during an exchange at Bern:
Climate and Ecology: http://www.nccr-climate.unibe.ch
North-South Development: http://www.nccr-north-south.unibe.ch
International Trade and Rights: www.iew.unibe.ch and www.worldtradeinstitute.ch
If you are a student who is interested in these fields of study and would like to study in Switzerland (some options in English are available), don’t hesitate to apply. The deadline for nominations is April 20; therefore, applications should be submitted to ISEP as soon as possible. PLEASE NOTE: A placement at Bern in one of these fields of study does not guarantee that a student will receive a ThinkSwiss Research Scholarship.
Please contact us for more information on applying to ISEP if you are interested!
