Studying at any stage of your life
Continuing or resuming one's studies is sometimes a complex challenge when faced with an unfinished course, poor health, family responsibilities or a busy professional and personal life. UNIL has put in place equivalences, easier admission requirements, part-time study and the possibility of re-scheduling examinations to facilitate access to studies.
"Socially, I've met students who are passionate and exciting. Intellectually, I've developed my critical faculties and I have more arguments to defend my ideas. People's attitudes have changed and I've gone from being a teacher who's always on holiday to an intellectual who is asked how to vote, which is a situation that I really enjoy.
