At a time of a worldwide autocratic shift, I believe that BISLA is particularly important thanks to its open commitment to liberal democracy. Its professors make a genuine effort to stimulate intellectual debate, not least outside of the classroom. Unlike many larger universities, it is also an ideal place to create life-long friendships.

BISLA is a first and foremost a strong and diverse community where one experiences both thought-provoking intellectual debates and support for fulfiling one´s full potential. Caring teachers and talented students are what make BISLA an exquisite educational institution.
