In the last few years, the [http://www.epfl.ch/index.en.html Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne] has been developing a new bachelor and master curriculum built at the interface between engineering and life sciences. The [http://ssv.epfl.ch/page25517-en.html Life Sciences and Technologies curriculum] tries to give us an interdisciplinary approach to life sciences current issues.

During the bachelor cycle, we study above all mathematics, physics and chemistry while going through the basics in diverse biological and engineering subjects. During the master cycle, we can then specialise our studies into diverse fields such as neuroscience, oncology, biotechnology, bioengineering or bioinformatics.

Where we're from

Lausanne is a beautiful city near the Leman Lake and the Alps, in Switzerland. Our school is one of the two engineering schools on the federal level in Switzerland, sister school of ETH in Zürich. We are from the Life Sciences department, and most of us study in the Life Sciences and Technology section. We enjoy a beautiful campus near the lake, with infrastructures in many engineering departments, which we take advantage for many pluridisciplinary projects and approaches.
