Working at the University of Bern

Physical Activity

Improve your quality of life by being physically active! Regular physical exercise reduces the risk of common ailments and illnesses, such as being overweight, high blood pressure or cardiovascular diseases. Exercise also has a positive effect on your mental health. Hectic workdays with prolonged periods of sitting can become a risk factor. Therefore, we set great store by dynamic work situations and work-friendly environments that promote movement. We also offer our employees a wide choice of exercise and sports activities.
