Exchanges and mobility
Going on a university exchange is a unique and highly rewarding experience, provided you prepare well. The first thing to remember is that you need to start taking steps well in advance.
You may follow a semester of studies in a partner institution recognised by the UNIL. If the study programme followed under a mobility arrangement is accepted by the study advisor and confirmed by a pass in the exams, the credits earned will be recognised and validated for your degree course.
