About
Education
The HES-SO is recognised by the Confederation and member of swissuniversities.
With 21,000 students, the HES-SO is the largest UAS in Switzerland. Its study programs and research activities are divided into six faculties: Arts & Design; Business, Management and Services; Engineering & Architecture; Music and Performing Arts; Health Sciences; and Social Work.
Research
With a view to developing a knowledge-based society, scientific research plays a central role; governments devote significant funds to it that are awarded on a competitive basis.
At Swiss level, HES-SO researchers tend to approach the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and the Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI). At European level, funds are obtained through the European Union’s Framework Programmes that Switzerland is part of. These projects enable the integration into consortia of partners from many different countries.
