Each year, the SHS Program strives to give students at UNIL and EPFL the opportunity to take classes together.
These courses address issues at the intersection of the humanities and engineering and have been designed to mobilize and strengthen the complementary skills of this dual audience. Because they share a single campus, students at UNIL and EPFL have the opportunity to learn together—through shared topics and group projects—about diversity of perspectives and scientific collaboration.
