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 .

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.

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).

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.
