Understanding

We understand health to mean a state of full physical, mental and social well-being. It is a positive term that emphasizes social, mental and physical resources, and not just the absence of illness or infirmity. UniBE takes a holistic approach to health promotion, thus strengthening the potential of its students, faculty and staff in keeping with the university’s values. It does so by implementing and continuously developing health promotion and prevention measures tailored to UniBE.
