For companies, the University of Basel provides a specific VPN connection. This can be requested via an application form.

There are three different Wi-Fi networks available which cover different usage profiles.

Eduroam

eduroam provides internet access for members of all participating universities (worldwide). Login is done using the access data of the participating university (email address and password).

UNIBAS-Public

This Wi-Fi does not require any access data and does not give access to the university network or the internet. The Wi-Fi can be used if no other internet access is available to set up Eduroam or the VPN client. The website https://its.unibas.ch/en/manuals/network-access/ is accessible from this Wi-Fi.

The access code you receive is valid for six months and can be used on a maximum of three devices at the same time. Attention: After five days you will be asked to enter the access code again. In case of loss, the code can be retrieved again by SMS.
