Our strategic development areas are digital transformation, medicine and health, and sustainable and societal development. Our students can choose between 18 Bachelor degrees and 46 Master degrees, as well as several vocational training and lifelong learning courses. Programmes are generally taught in two languages (French/English or French/German), some in three languages and some entirely in English, in particular at the Master level.
