Start of academic year : new students

To mark the start of your university studies in the current health context, the University of Lausanne has reinvented the Welcome Week, which precedes the start of the academic year.

Since 21 August, a series of newsletters has been sent to you on your private email containing practical and useful information! Check your spam if you don't receive anything!

The welcome video shown on 7 September, opening UNIL's Welcome Week for new students, is full of useful information for the beginning of your studies. New videos will be uploaded throughout the Welcome Week. Feel free to watch them!
