"Edward Bernays University of Applied Sciences is truly a unique higher education institution, offering the most innovative study programmes in communications and tourism in this part of Europe, however, I would dare say even further. But Bernays is not a model that stops there. I would dare to use the well-known saying "Panta rhei" (the only constant in life is change) as a guiding thread, because Bernays continues to grow and continuously develop in its innovation, focusing on its students, to whom it provides more and more opportunities."
