We warmly welcome international students!

forum³ is the University Chaplaincy for students of the University and the Universities of Applied Sciences in Bern.

The three dimensions of community, spirituality and development form the basis of our activities.

forum³ creates places to meet and celebrate, to experience silence, to exchange about life issues and for the creative expression of students.
forum³ supports students in their personal and spiritual development. Its events offer space for the discussion of religious, ethical and social topics.

Our events are generally free of charge for students. We only charge a fee for events with overnight accommodation or high material costs, which we indicate in the flyer and on the poster. However, a low budget should not be an obstacle – feel free to contact us!

Pastoral Care

As a university chaplain I am here for you

If you feel lonely, if problems or pressure are weighing on you, if questions about your future are bothering you, if you don’t know what to do; in short: if you need a professional, open ear, then don’t hesitate to contact me.

Independence and confidentiality are a matter of course for me. The offer is free of charge. You can call or email me. Pastoral care is possible in direct conversation or via email:

Below you find a selection of our events. We look forward to getting to know you!

Programme autumn semester: push & pull

Recently, a student said that the “pull factors“ had been decisive in changing his subject – in other words, what attracted, fascinated and inspired him about the new subject. But there were also “push factors“: a failed exam and a lack of motivation. Many people have a similar experience: We are pulled and pushed, we want and have to, we feel hope and weariness, we are fascinated by the new and fed up with the old. And in all of this, we are looking for orientation that will lead us on a self-responsible and coherent path. Helping us to do this is the common goal of the two university chaplaincies forum³ and aki. That is why we planned the programme together for the first time and run the majority of events in cooperation.
