Continuous practice of foreign languages helps you maintain and further develop your language skills. That’s why at BGE we offer courses in all six languages featured in the school-leaving exam (English, German, French, Italian, Russian and Spanish) — both as compulsory language subjects and as electives.
If you already have confident English language skills, you can also take English-language professional courses in our full-time bachelor’s programs, which will further develop your language competencies. You can find the list of English-language professional courses recommended for enrollment in the fall semester (full-time) HERE.
You can find further information about language requirements and opportunities on the website of the Language and Language Examination Center: HERE

Professional Internship Abroad
You can also complete your mandatory professional internship abroad.
This can be a particularly good opportunity for senior students as the internship period approaches. During an internship abroad, you can gain international professional experience while also fulfilling the requirements of your program.
Sport is an important part of student life at BGE. In our full-time bachelor’s programs, physical education is a compulsory subject for two semesters, and we also offer numerous additional sports opportunities for all our students.
You can currently choose from nearly 30 different types of physical activity, and you can also take part in recreational and amateur competitive sports programs, as well as BGE’s Elite Athlete Program.

At BGE, we believe that every ambitious young person should be given the opportunity to participate in higher education, so we also help create the necessary support background for this. Some of the scholarships are funded from BGE’s own revenues, so that students who are not eligible for state funding can also receive support, and so that fewer students are forced — often to the detriment of their studies — to work.
You can find the comprehensive list of our scholarship programs HERE.
University years are not only about studying, but also about having fun and shared experiences. The University also organizes community programs and events for students, which offer opportunities for community building beyond classes. From the annual group ice-skating and ski camp, through events supporting the strengthening of international relations within the university, to volunteer programs. Students interested in sports can join BGE’s sports teams, while those who are more drawn to science and self-development can join the specialized colleges, or the Scientific Students’ Association’s activities. In addition, numerous independent student organizations are waiting for new members.
Everyone can go through more difficult periods from time to time during their university years. If you feel a supportive conversation would help, you can turn to our specialists at our free mental health counseling service in a safe, accepting environment — they will help you find the best solutions and resources for you.
Who can use this service?
- Available free of charge to every BGE student with active student status.
- Up to 6 counseling sessions can be used per academic year.
- Any BGE student can apply, regardless of faculty.
- When choosing a specialist, please avoid dual relationships: do not select a counselor who has been your instructor or whom you know personally.
