UNIL charges around CHF 580 a semester in registration, examination and semester fees, the same for Swiss and international students; UNIL does not add a separate, higher tuition rate for foreign students, unlike most other Swiss universities researched for this file. A candidate applying with a foreign secondary school diploma (bachelor's admission) or another foreign university qualification (master's admission) pays a one-time CHF 200 administrative fee for the assessment of that qualification.
