Nine of these courses are also open to UNIL students, as part of the initiative “One Campus”.

As part of the “Experimental History of Science” course, students reproduced LĂ©on Foucault’s 1851 experiment at the PanthĂ©on in Paris in the MED hall. The aim was to study the experiment and compare the opinions of spectators nearly two centuries apart!
