Opportunity Brief Description
Masters Scholarships are awarded to exceptional students who have completed their studies at a foreign university with outstanding academic results. UNIL awards approximately 10 scholarships annually, which cover the minimum duration of the program chosen by the student.
The scholarship provides CHF 1,600 per month from September to July (for ten months each year) for the entire duration of the master’s degree (either one and a half or two years depending on the program), except in cases of permanent failure after the first year. It is important for candidates to note that the scholarship amount is insufficient to support living expenses in Switzerland and is not a fully funded scholarship.
