U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

Via a motivating curriculum, students acquire a broad scientific knowledge, 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, so as to more fully convey the importance of biology in our society. Our graduates are well prepared for careers in numerous areas of life sciences.

The Faculty of Biology and Medicine is a unique setup in Europe with an interdisciplinary approach. 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.

This Master is intended for students who are interested in biological research in the medical field. The first semester is dedicated to give 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. The second semester is dedicated to specialisation and students can choose a study path from among the three options available: Immunology and Cancer, Neurosciences, and Pharmacology and Toxicology.

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 scientific communication, students learn how to write a scientific review and fellowship application.

The Master of Science in Information Systems (IS) provides students with cutting-edge skills in new information and communication technologies (NICTs). Our program covers both IS management and engineering, and hence trains professionals capable of designing, managing, implementing and evaluating IT services and applications. The PhD program offers a tailor-made learning journey aiming at the full expression of the candidate’s potential. Particular attention is paid to critical thinking, which is assessed by a dedicated exam. Both programs are strongly practice-oriented.

Our Department of IS runs research combining complementary fields and approaches. As a result, our research covers several fields around IS Management (digital innovation and strategy, project management, architecture and IS evolution), Security (privacy and cybersecurity), Data (data management, data mining and machine learning), Distributed Object Programming, Human Computer Interaction and Neural Science. The multidisciplinary approach stems from the rich composition of the Department, whose research is also strongly connected to the corporate world.

1st semester encompass a block-week of direct contact between students and IT professionals from local companies where students teams resolve challenges proposed by companies. Results are evaluated and awarded by a club of CIO's (called the Digital Circle). This mandatory activity gives several opportunities to students to develop their professional network and to valuate their skills and capabilities for finding further internships opportunities.

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.

The focus of the Master’s degree in Foundations and Practices of Sustainability is on so-called “strong” sustainability, that is to say the challenges associated with the reduction and limitation of flows of energy and matter, so that our economic activities become once again compatible with the biosphere and its many processes. Its objective is to train future protagonists who have the capacity to lead and support the transition of our societies towards ecologically and socially sustainable solutions.
