The general management modules are designed to enhance the understanding of the core business concepts required to strengthen the management skills. The programme also organises extra seminars and lectures to help participants gain self-awareness and confidence.

Advanced Healthcare Specialisation:
The Healthcare specialisation, oriented towards the specific needs of the healthcare sector, provides participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to meet future challenges in the ever changing health environment. With the advanced specialisation, students will deepen their knowledge of the world of healthcare around three central topics:

the assessment of key strategic issues
the identification of future challenges and opportunities.

The Individual Healthcare Project (IHP):
Every participant defines - together with their employer or any healthcare company they wish to work with - a project relative to a current problematic in the health environment. The participants work on their projects during approximately eleven months, from January to November. Throughout the initial stage they receive help from an expert and the professor in charge of the module. Participants are supposed to present their projects twice: first at an intermediary stage in order to demonstrate progress and secondly at the end of the module.

Organisation

Founded in 1537, the University of Lausanne is composed of seven faculties where approximately 12,400 students and 2,300 researchers work and study. Emphasis is placed on an inter- disciplinary approach, with close cooperation between students, professors and teaching staff.

The University of Lausanne is situated at the heart of the French-speaking region of Switzerland, in the middle of Europe - close to France, Germany, Italy, and Austria.

The UNIL campus is spread across three locations, the largest of which is in Dorigny, on the shores of Lake Geneva. This picturesque landscape, with views of the Alps and the lake, provides the ideal setting for study and research.

Study in Lausanne

Lausanne — surrounded by mountains and descending to the shores of Lake Geneva — is generally acknowledged to be one of the world's most beautiful and liveable cities. In addition to a rich selection of restaurants, movie theatres and city sites, the city and surrounding area offer a wide variety of cultural activities (such as the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Béjart Ballet), which are supplemented by the cultural life of nearby Geneva.

With the countryside so close, it's no secret that slipping away for a weekend is possible, even for participants of our intensive MBA program. After all, some of the best skiing and hiking areas in the world are less than an hour’s drive away!

Many places are accessible by public transport. The extensive transport services within the city interconnect with high speed trains to take you all over Switzerland and the rest of Europe. For other international destinations, Geneva airport is a 40 minute drive or train trip from Lausanne.
