Vocational Guidance and Careers Service (SOC)
The Vocational Guidance and Careers Service (SOC) provides information about the courses of study available at the University of Lausanne, supports students throughout their studies until they have successfully completed their course and assists graduates in their transition to the world of work.
Missions
The Vocational Guidance and Careers Service (SOC) provides information on site, by phone, by e-mail and on the internet. It is also available for individual interviews by appointment, online or in person.
The SOC has four core missions:
- Increase awareness of UNIL and its educational pathways.
- Make it easier to adapt to university studies.
- Support students through transitions during their studies.
- Ease the transition into the world of work.
The Vocational Guidance and Careers Service is open to UNIL students and graduates, as well as people interested in studying at the University of Lausanne (unless they are enrolled in a grammar school, upper or lower secondary school – in this case, it is advisable to first contact the guidance counsellors at their institution).

Course guidance |
The SOC offers a range of services to help you choose a course of study or find your bearings during your studies. Advice is offered online on our information pages for choosing a course of study, as well as through various teaching tools, including, for example, quizzes to find out more about the university environment:
The service offers one-to-one information and advice interviews online for 20 minutes for students, UNIL graduates and postgraduates, as well as people interested in studying at the University of Lausanne. During these online meetings, which are free and confidential, the advisers and counsellors offer information on studying at UNIL, career opportunities, working and learning methods, as well as on job and work placement searches. A free, confidential consultation by appointment with a psychologist specialising in careers advice is available on request for UNIL students and graduates. These consultations provide an opportunity for in-depth discussion of study choices, careers guidance, personal difficulties and support in making decisions at the various stages of university life. |
