Every year, students from UNIL and EPFL have the opportunity to take joint courses as part of the SHS Program. These courses deal with issues at the crossroads of the humanities and engineering. They have been designed to mobilise and strengthen their complementary skills. Because they share a single campus, students from UNIL and EPFL have the opportunity to learn together, around common questions and through group projects, about the diversity of points of view and scientific collaboration.
Registration procedure for UNIL students :
- For all courses (BA + MA): registration at the beginning of each semester
Registration at UNIL via SylviaAcad / HEC system.
