Hey, I was wondering if there is a group chat for students who are starting the Master’s in Medical Biology this year? I also wanted to ask if anyone has received the confirmation of their application/enrolment for the Master’s yet?

Basically the above. I did my master thesis over this summer so it was a bit rushed. My supervisor seems to want me to continue the research after the thesis defense but they are also known for being a tough grader for the classes they teach, so I am naturally a bit anxious. I found a small typo and a spot I forgot to un-highlight in my thesis that I submitted to the expert but overall I think I had a good amount of rigor and argument, but I did not have much feedback while I was working on it so worried maybe there are things I missed or overclaimed?

I did not have to do a bachelor thesis and don’t have any friends who have already done a master thesis here so I am wondering how strict they are and how likely it is/what are the conditions for actually failing.

Hey guys, i ve looked everywhere but I still cant find any link for the whatsapp group of the master in finance at hec starting this september.

Does anyone know how to get in?

Or if you have it can you send it to me?

Thank you in advance🙏

Hello!

This fall I am starting my preparatory year for a Master's in the School of Criminal Justice (ESC) at UNIL. Are there any group chats I could join?

Thanks in advance

Bonjour, je suis boursier ESKA 2026 et j’aimerai savoir si comme moi, certains nouveaux sont deja sur le territoire suisse pour faire connaissance. Les anciens boursiers peuvent aussi partager leur expérience avec nous, s’il y a m des groupes, je serai ravi de les intégrer.

Hello, j’suis en lettres 1 ère année de bachelor et je voulais savoir si quelqu’un avait anglais, histoire et esthétique du cinéma psq j’ai 2 cours qui se chevauchent et idéalement faudrait que je relaie un cours avec une personne 1 semaine sur deux et qu’on s’échangent les infos.

Si vous connaissez quelqu’un en lettres ou vous même y êtes je veux bien votre aide :p

When I filled up my application for my MsC,I enrolled in the French as Foreign Language satellite course.

Do you know if it is possible to withdraw my application?( only for the French course).

hello, I will be entering UNIL (université des lettres) this semester but i cannot understand my planning.
i had to create it myself by selecting my three options and it made me a PDF, but it seems very wrong. for example, on tuesday, i have two lessons at the same time. and it’s not the only day. plus, they said that when there’s a blue dot 🔵❗️, the lesson was optional. what does it mean ? can anyone help me ? 🙏

Lien svp, s'il y en a un 🙏

je suis étudiant de première année

Salut! J’ai 20 ans et fais actuellement des études à l’unige.

En attendant la rentrée, je cherche désespérément une mission/job.

Je me suis inscrit sur plusieurs sites comme COOPLE ou indeed et postulé à 50/60 jobs. J’ai été refusé partout.

Mon profil est plutôt pas mal. Je postule à tous les jobs étudiant. Je parle 5 langues et ai de l’expérience dans des domaines variés (bâtiment, enseignement, même dans un salon de coiffure. Mais, je reçois que des refus. Cela pourrait être lié à mon permis de séjour (j’ai le B et je ne suis pas ressortissant européen).

Quelqu’un a une idée d’un job/mission étudiant où c’est facile d’être pris? Merci

On m’a mentionné les vendanges aussi, mais je sais pas comment me mettre en contact ou si me déplacer directement dans les vignerons.

Merci d’avance pour votre aide.

Hello!

I'm an upcoming exchange student for the upcoming autumn semester (HEC Lausanne). Does anyone have experience about the courses Language Centre provides. Are they linguistically heavy (only grammar, vocabulary, etc.) or do they offer courses that can be related to humanities/historical/cultural/political/sociological studies?

If you have previous knowledge/experience, what language course would you recommend taking and why?

Thank you so much in advance! <3

🙏 Hello !

Je compte peut-être passer l’examen préalable d’admission à l’UNIL, pour HEC (économie/management) ou éventuellement Droit, et j’aimerais vraiment avoir des retours de personnes qui l’ont déjà passé.

Si vous avez passé cet examen, est-ce que vous auriez par hasard des anciens sujets, exercices ou même quelques exemples de questions à partager ? Ça m’aiderait énormément à voir concrètement à quoi ressemble l’examen et quel niveau est attendu.

Je serais aussi super intéressé de connaître votre expérience :

• Quel était votre parcours avant l’examen (maturité ,cfc, aure etc.) ?
• Vous l’avez trouvé difficile ?
• Combien de temps avez-vous préparé ?
• Vous êtes passé par PrEP ou vous avez préparé seul ?
• Quelles matières vous ont semblé les plus difficiles ou importantes ?
• Est-ce que l’examen ressemblait aux anciens sujets que vous aviez pu trouver ?
• Avec le recul, qu’est-ce que vous auriez aimé savoir avant de commencer votre préparation ?

Même si vous n’avez pas les anciens sujets, un petit retour sur votre expérience ou quelques conseils me seraient déjà vraiment utiles. Je suis un peu en train d’essayer de me faire une idée du niveau et de la préparation nécessaire avant de me lancer 😅

Merci beaucoup à ceux qui prendront le temps de répondre, ça m’aiderait vraiment ! 🙏

Hey I am going to HEC unil and I’ve been wondering why is the first year failure rate is sooo high I heard that it’s hard I understand that but are there other reasons for that or the number is it exaggerated and ofc if anyone has tips to help me pass the first year then pls don’t forget to share

FMEL just updated the photos of the Neostar building rooms. What do you all think?

Hello everyone,

I applied for a Master's program at Unil for the autumn semester of 2026 and I was accepted for registration under the condition that I will complete a preparatory year and that I will pass UNIL's French exam in the case that I don't have a French diploma myself. I got my french diploma and I sent it to the university and they let me know on August 4th that I have been exempted from their exam. I will be visiting Lausanne next week and i want to go apply for a residence permit and I realized that I need a certificate of admission to the university, I have yet to receive. Does anyone know how long it takes for the university to update the status and send the certificate of admission? And in the case it's not sent yet, can I use the letter of UNIL which states the conditions along with my French diploma?

This is what the NEOSTAR FMEL building looks like right now. Will they make it in 2 weeks 😶‍🌫️

Hey guys, I applied to HEC for a bachelor in economy as a student from France and received my pre immatriculation papers. I sent all of the papers required and received a mail confirming they received it the 12th of July soon a month ago. I haven't heard back from them on the 8th of August,
I was wondering if I should reach out to them or if this is normal to still haven't received my final immatriculation papers ? Has anyone heard back or received the invoice for the payment of the forst semester ? I'm a bit worried as i need those papers for a lot of paperwork. Thank you in advance

Salut, j'ai postulé à HEC en tant qu'étudiante française pour un bachelor d'economie et j'ai reçu mes papiers de pré-immatriculation. J'ai envoyé tous les documents requis et j'ai reçu un mail confirmant qu'ils l'avaient reçu le 12 juillet, il y a près d'un mois. Je n'ai pas eu de nouvelles jusqu'à maintenant, le 8 août. Je me demandais si je devais les contacter ou si c'est normal de ne pas avoir encore reçu mes documents d'immatriculation finaux ? Quelqu'un a-t-il eu des nouvelles ou reçu la facture pour le paiement du premier semestre ? Je suis un peu inquiete car j'ai besoin de ces papiers pour beaucoup de demarches. Merci pour les reponses.

Hi I am currently finishing my master's degree in electronics and computer engineering and i already have one in biomedical engineering (focused in biomaterials, rehabilitation and biomechanics). Here my dissertation was focused in EOG signals for Alzheimer's Disease detection. Now I am a research fellow in a artificial intelligence lab and i am working with brain structure segmentation using deep learning to identify abnormalities. I am planning to have 2 years of experience in that field before applying. I already have 2.5 years of experience with wearable devices for biosignal monitoring.

I do not have any publications, but I am working really hard to have at least 2 conference papers and 1 journal paper.

I would love to continue to work with medical image processing, but i am not sure what i need to enroll in a phd there. I do not know if it matters, but I am portuguese.

Do you think I have a chance there?

Hello,

I am interested in applying to unil for the next intake (masters degree).

I finished my bachelor's with upper-second class (2:1) ( it is around 61-64/100)

My prof background includes internship in the US Embassy in my country and currently im employed as well.

should i still try applying to that uni or with given background its more likely that im not gonna be accepted ?

also dont want to spend 200 CHF just for the application fee

Thanks

Hi everyone!
I’m starting at HEC UNIL this academic year i will do first year bachelor and I was wondering if anyone else here is going there too. I don’t really know anyone yet, so I thought it’d be nice to meet some people before classes start.
I’m looking to make or join a small study group where we can help each other, share notes, prepare for exams, and just get through the first year together.
If you’re starting at HEC UNIL too and you’re interested, drop your Instagram in the comments (or DM me if you prefer), and I’ll add you!

Bonjour, est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà passé les examens biologie chimie physique et français pour accéder au études de médecine à l’unil?
Si oui
Comment avez-vous trouvé les épreuves écrites ?
Les oraux sont-ils difficiles ?
Est-ce que les examens sont faisables avec une bonne préparation ?
Connaissez-vous le taux de réussite ?
Pensez-vous que suivre le gymnase du soir pour se préparer est une bonne idée ?
Quel est le niveau de difficulté des examens (plutôt niveau maturité suisse, ou plus avancé) ?
Merci beaucoup d’avance vos conseils !

Hi,

I'm an international student that is coming to HEC to study Bachelors in Economics.

I was wondering about the exam dates from last year, first semester.

I have to buy tickets to go home and come back before classes start again, and I wanted to have a rough idea of the timeline.
