Deadline: 15 December 2011
Open to: International students holders of Bachelor’s degree equivalent to the UNIL
Scholarship: CHF 1,600.- per month
To facilitate access to Master’s degrees by students with qualifications from foreign universities, the University of Lausanne makes available around ten Master’s grants which are awarded on a competitive basis.
Candidates must choose a Master’s programme from among those offered by the UNIL, except the Master of Medicine. The grant may not be used for any complementary studies required to enroll on the Master’s degree and may not be used for EMBAs or Masters of Advanced studies.
Eligibility
The candidate must be the holder of a degree from a foreign university.
The qualification held by the candidate must be deemed equivalent to the UNIL Bachelor’s degree.
The following are admitted for enrolment with a view to obtaining a Master’s degree:
- Holders of a Bachelor’s degree awarded by a Swiss university or another university qualification deemed equivalent by the Rectorate, in a field the same as or similar to that of the chosen Master’s.
- Holders of a Bachelor’s degree awarded by a Swiss university or another university qualification deemed equivalent by the Rectorate in a similar field are admitted provided any shortcomings in basic theory are made good during the degree course leading to the Master’s.
- Those in possession of a Bachelor’s degree awarded by a Swiss University of Applied Science (HES) or by a Swiss University of Teacher Education (HEP) are admitted provided any shortcomings in basic theory are made good during the degree course leading to the Master’s. If the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees are in different fields, candidates for the Master’s are admitted provided any shortcomings in basic theory are made good before joining the degree course leading to the Master’s.
The grants are intended more particularly for students who distinguished themselves in their university studies and who have difficulty meeting their financial needs for the duration of the Master’s. It is however necessary that the candidates have sufficient financial means to support themselves during the complementary studies that may be required prior to enroll on the Master’s degree.
Scholarship
The amount of the grant is CHF 1,600.- per month from 15 September to 15 July, for a duration not exceeding the regulation minimum period of the programme (according to the programme, one-and-a-half years or two years subject to deduction for paid placements or exempt semesters, if any). Abandonment of the programme results in suspension of the grant.
Application
Candidates must send their completed application to the following address within 15 December 2011:
