Application instructions:
UNIL Master’s Grants in Switzerland for Foreign Students You do not need to apply for the master’s degree at the Admission Office (SII) of UNIL because the application form for the Masters Scholarship also serves as an application for ADMISSION to the chosen Master’s programme (and consequently as a matriculation form at UNIL).Candidates for the Masters Scholarship are required to submit their applications online and upload their whole application file in PDF format over the course of the online application process rather than sending their materials via email.
To start a master’s degree programme during the following academic year, either in the fall semester or the spring semester if the programme allows it, the application deadline is November 1 (post mark).
