Travel costs Bern-Fribourg

According to their personal study plan, students may attend courses at both the University of Bern and the University of Fribourg. The costs of travelling by train (2nd Class) between the two Institutes are paid by the BEFRI Accord. Reimbursements are made at the end of each semester by money transfer to a bank- or post office account, provided the students are officially enroled in the Bern-Fribourg Master’s Degree.
