Who can follow our courses?

The Centre de langues is a service provided by the University of de Lausanne, and the modules it provides are therefore exclusively for members of the UNIL university community. Students must have paid their UNIL matriculation fee.

attention_2.jpg   Students who are taking a break in their studies (complete or partial) cannot follow our courses.


Certain non-UNIL students are eligible to follow our courses:

  • EPFL students are allowed to follow courses in languages which are not taught at EPFL (Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Swiss-German): Information and registrations (paying courses, "Other” fee)
  • Students at the Haute école pédagogique (HEP) de Lausanne: information and registrations (free of charge)
  • Members and teaching staff at the Haute école pédagogique (HEP) de Lausanne: information and registrations (paying courses, "Other" fee)
  • Members of the CHUV UNIL, only if they have a UNIL contract and status (course fees according to UNIL status)
  • The "listeners" (online registration using the details sent through UNIL email) – this status allows access to certain UNIL Faculty courses (conditions), and to follow Centre de langues modules should the timetable and level allow it (see here); please note: you are first a "listener" in a Faculty and then, if you wish, you can become a full participant in Language Center modules (paying courses, “Other” fees)

The Language Center is not open to students who are not enrolled at UNIL (students of other universities, HES, or UNIL alumni).

fleche.jpgParticipants must buy the course material and pay the registration fee to external examinations, where applicable.

* 1 period = 45 minutes / EMA = Multimedia Centre
Check the module you have signed up for to see whether it includes periods at the Multimedia Center
Free-access periods at the Multimedia Center (not registered periods – see here for the difference) are free (and so are not charged to people following courses which require them)
