UNIL Fully Funded Master Scholarship in Switzerland 2022

0

What is a Masters scholarship?

Masters scholarships are scholarships for excellence awarded exclusively to students who have graduated from a foreign university and whose academic results are of a very high level.

UNIL grants around ten scholarships a year.

The scholarship is granted for the minimum statutory period of the programme chosen by the student. It amounts to CHF 1,600 per month from 15 September to 15 July (or 10 months a year) for the complete duration of the masters (one and a half years or two years depending on the chosen masters), with the exception of cases of definitive failure after the first year.

Candidates are made aware of the fact that the sum of the scholarship awarded is not sufficient to live in Switzerland.

With regard to this, we invite candidates to consult the following page about the reference budget of a student at UNIL: http://www.unil.ch/immat/fr/home/menuguid/faq–infos-utiles/informations-utiles/taxes-detudes-et-cout-de-la.html

Students offered a scholarship will be exempt from the fixed registration fees for the courses, with the exception of the CHF 80.00 fees to be paid each semester.

What are the programmes for which it is possible to apply for a Masters scholarship?

The list of all Masters degrees at UNIL that it is possible to apply can be found at this address :

  • Master of Science in Health sciences
  • All MASs (PhD programmes)

Please note: for the Master of Law, only two specialisms,”international and comparative law” and “legal theory” are open to applications for Masters scholarships.

What are the conditions necessary for applying for a Masters scholarship?

  • To have obtained a foreign university degree considered equivalent to a bachelor at UNIL before the beginning of the masters programme at UNIL.
  • To have distinguished yourself during your studies, especially through particularly brilliant academic results.

  • To have paid the CHF 200.00 administration fee (see document, “list of documents to attach to your application”).

Withdrawal from the programme will lead to the suspension of the scholarship.

Candidates must send their completed application (refer to the document, “list of documents to attach to your application”), unbound, by post only to the following address:

Université de Lausanne
Service des affaires sociales et de la mobilité étudiante (SASME)

Switzerland

The application form must be completed on a computer and duly signed by the candidate.

Awarded annually, these scholarships recognize outstanding students from around the world, including international students studying at Canadian high schools. This is U of T’s most prestigious and competitive scholarship for international students. The Lester B. Pearson International Scholarships will cover tuition, books, incidental fees, and full residence support for four years. The scholarship is tenable only at the University of Toronto for first-entry, undergraduate programs. Each year approximately 37 students will be named Lester B. Pearson Scholars.

Carving out a varied and thrilling career, you’ll be privy to the types of opportunities that will elevate your potential exponentially – and with hotels in more than 120 countries, there really is no saying what the future holds for you.




The role

As a member of our Rooms Operation team, you’ll develop a first-hand knowledge of the guest experience from first contact through to check-out and beyond. Combining discipline-specific training with a leadership-focussed curriculum, you’ll learn in one of our hotels, not a classroom. Benefitting from mini rotations across the team, you’ll have access to our senior leaders and coaches, getting a first-hand understanding of how we set international standards for excellence. And with industry-leading support via customised technology plus social collaboration tools allowing you to network with colleagues globally, you’ll always have someone to bounce ideas off.

The remit

With an overall focus on delivering a consistently incredible guest experience, we’ll share our encyclopaedic knowledge of what makes our guests return to us time and time again. Immersing you in this fascinating world from your very first day, you’ll form part of the supervisory team, developing an insider knowledge of front office, guest relations, reception and housekeeping. From the specifics of managing each shift and room inventory management through to guest metric improvement projects, payroll, team recruitment and motivation, we’ll provide you with the expertise you need to take on a senior-level role with us once you’ve completed the programme.

What you’ll bring

A passion for learning and a willingness to get stuck-in are at the top of our ‘must-have’ list. You’ll also champion innovation, and you’ll be quick to come up with creative solutions to problems that might not have an obvious answer. Ready to share initiatives and ideas via your Voyage project, you’ll be keen to take on special projects that will make the most of your new skills. On a practical level, you will have graduated from a university or hotel school within the last year, or you will be due to graduate before September 2021. You will also have the right to work in Rwanda, and you will have exceptional written and verbal communication skills. As a team-player who is highly organised, it would be beneficial if you have previous experience of working within a hospitality environment.

What you’ll get in return

This is a valuable chance to not just take on a job that you enjoy, but a career that you will love. We know that our success stems from our employees, so we’re committed to ensuring that every member of our team finds their natural place with us. As such, we’ll support you with ongoing training and development opportunities, and a benefits package that is second to none, including travel perks, pay day rewards and associate appreciation week.
