PhD in Life Sciences

Students acquire a broad scientific knowledge, which extends from the molecules within the cells to organisms in their environment and communities. The practical work is gradually more linked to the research labs with the advancement of studies. Most importantly, students also develop an analytical and critical mind as well as the abilities to learn independently, to work in a team and to communicate in multiple languages, as to more fully convey the importance of biology in our society. This curriculum prepares its graduates for careers in numerous areas of life science.

The interdisciplinary approach allow us to study infectious diseases, immunity and cancer, neuroscience. An understanding of the structural, molecular and genetic mechanisms in living organisms allow us to go straight to the source of it all and studying stem cells in plants, animals and humans. An understanding of all aspects of biological systems, from organization and evolution to adaptation and intra and interspecific communication is also one of our speciality. Most of the research projects are using cutting-edge technology in imaging, genomics and proteomics.

Medical Bio., Immunology, Metabolism, Neuroscience

The Bachelor of Science in Biology give a large vision from the various fields of Biology and from the different level organizations of the living from molecules to ecosystems. Many courses are completed with practical work which is gradually more linked to the research labs with the advancement of studies. An offer of optional courses and modules allows various and detailed pathways. Such a Bachelor offers a solid and large base in Biology. This permit to the students to have access to a broad choice of Masters which are specialized in the Life Sciences.

This Master is intended for students who are interested in biological research in the medical field. Teaching focuses on the acquisition of key areas of expertise necessary for the development of new pre-clinical and clinical medical applications. This training gives students an in-depth knowledge of basic cellular functions, systems that transmit signals inside and among cells, human biology, and the normal and pathological functioning of the most important systems of the human organism. Attention is also paid to learning and applying techniques used.

full time, part time

The goal of the Master is to explore life through experimental and computational approaches. With specialized lectures exploring micro-organisms, plants, animals and humans, students can compose their own curriculum of choice : Bioinformatics, Microbiology, Integrative Biology. A practical course allowing students to sequence and analyse the genome of a micro-organism, applying the most recent sequencing and computational techniques is performed. To master oral and written sceintific communication, students learn how to write a scientific review and fellowship application.

full time, part time

This Master develops knowledge in ecology, evolutionary biology and conservation biology, with courses ranging from evolutionary genetics, phylogeography, social behavior and interspecific interactions, applied ecology, conservation biology. Some relevant technical and quantitative skills are fostered through courses in statistics, computer-assisted cartography, spatial modeling, molecular methods, scientific writing. Several field courses prepare students for research in the field. Three specializations provide links to economics, geosciences, computational biology.

Bachelor of Science in Management and Economics

Our mission, in part, consists of “using research to train our students to be capable and responsible leaders and entrepreneurs […]”. The competencies we aim to develop are: analytical skills, leadership qualities, international perspective, understanding of profitable and sustainable businesses practices and an entrepreneurial mindset. We engage various teaching methods: lectures, case studies, and seminars, complemented by exercise sessions, hands-on workshops, and project work. Faculty use teaching methods that achieve the best fit between course content, student cohort, and teaching style.

PhD in Information Systems

The Master of Science in Information Systems allows students to acquire advanced skills in New Information and Communications Technologies (NICT) for use within organisations. Subjects are studied with a balanced multidisciplinary approach and cover both information technology and management techniques. The Master's degree thus trains high-level specialists with the skills needed to design, manage, evaluate and implement IT services and applications.

The interdisciplinary scientific approach developed at the Department of Information Systems combines complementary research fields, methods, approaches, skills and results. The Department comprises researchers in different fields (management, computer science and engineering, mathematics and logic, biology and cybercrime) who are organized into two groups: 1) Information Systems (design-related and managerial aspects of Information Technology); 2) Complexity Science (transdisciplinary research related to the dynamics of complex systems and their interrelations).

Geology

The Master of Science in Earth Sciences allows students to benefit from advanced teaching in different specialist fields of geology according to the chosen orientation, namely: 1) Sedimentary Geology, Environmental Geology, Geology of Reservoirs; 2) Geochemistry, Alpine Tectonics, Ore Deposits; 3)Geological Risks. Regardless of which orientation is followed, students receive in-depth training in field work and numerous analytical techniques, as well as in the processing of quantitative data and modelling.

The Master of Science in Biogeosciences is the result of the integration of two fields of natural sciences: biology and geology. It reflects the emergence of new fields of research in the many areas of contact between these two disciplines. The objective is to train students in the field of integrated natural sciences or Biogeosciences. It aims, through training based on the most modern techniques, to provide the essential knowledge and tools necessary for the discovery, understanding and management of natural environments in perpetual evolution on scales that are variable in time and space.

HEC Lausanne offers a complete sequence of programs in economics: a three-year Bachelor program, a two-year Masters and a four-to-five year PhD program. Bachelor courses are given in French; Masters and PhD programs are taught entirely in English. Our philosophy is "research-led teaching". Hence, we aim to teach state-of-the art scientific methods to equip our graduates with the necessary skills for exploring fundamental economic questions faced by contemporary society. We attach equal importance to formal theoretical modeling and to empirical analysis guided by the rigors of econometrics.

HEC Lausanne has a proud history of scholarship in economics. It counts among its former faculty two towering pioneers of modern economic theory, Léon Walras (1834-1910) and Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923). Lausanne continues to be an important seat of learning in economics, boasting an international and research-active faculty. Leading economic researchers regularly visit Lausanne, be it to give seminar presentations, to attend conferences or as visiting professors. The department encourages economic research and dissemination to a wider audience through a working paper series, seminars, etc.
