UNIL Master’s Grants in Switzerland for Foreign Students
The
University of Lausanne in Switzerland offers the UNIL Master’s Grants on a
competitive basis to international students who wish to pursue a Masters Degree
at the University.
Masters
scholarships are scholarships for excellence awarded exclusively to students
who have graduated from a foreign university and whose academic results are of
a very high level.
UNIL grants around ten scholarships a
year.
The scholarship is granted for the minimum statutory period of the programme
chosen by the student. It amounts to CHF 1,600 per month from 15 September to
15 July (or 10 months a year) for the complete duration of the masters (one and
a half years or two years depending on the chosen masters), with the exception
of cases of definitive failure after the first year.
Candidates are made aware of the fact that the sum of the scholarship awarded
is not sufficient to live in Switzerland.
