1460 was the year that witnessed the beginning of the establishment of what is now known as the University of Basel. It has the distinction of being Switzerland’s oldest continuously operating educational institution. We take great pride in maintaining a heritage of quality in learning, teaching, and research that dates back more than five hundred years. We have maintained our well-deserved reputation as a university that is capable of drawing faculty and students from all over the world by providing a high-quality education and by taking a forward-thinking approach to new scientific breakthroughs during this time period. This has allowed us to continue to attract staff and students from all over the world. Because of this, we have been able to uphold the reputation that we have worked hard to earn as a university that is capable of luring faculty members and students from all over the world. Because of its location in the centre of Basel and the city’s long history of innovation, the University of Basel is a dynamic and forward-thinking institution. This is due to the proximity of these two factors. In addition to offering a diverse range of appealing programmes at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as access to prominent research networks located all over the world, and a variety of services for both students and the community at large, we are able to fulfil all of your educational needs.
We have only very recently completed a comprehensive review of our programmes in order to bring them into conformity with the Bologna Declaration of the European Ministers of Education. The Education Ministers of Europe came up with the idea for this proclamation in order to strengthen interdisciplinarity, advance the concept of networked research, and broaden the University’s presence and standing on the international stage. It is the mission of the University of Basel to foster research that is among the very finest in the world and to provide educational opportunities that are at the cutting edge of their respective fields. One of our key strategic goals is to produce, enhance, and promote research that satisfies internationally acknowledged criteria of excellence. This will be accomplished by creating an environment and infrastructure that is supportive of our core strategy purpose, which is to generate, enhance, and promote such research.
