Our graduates are regularly offered jobs in a wide range of sectors, including forensic science, data protection, auditing firms, IT security companies, the administration, the judiciary, law firms, scientific research and even communications and diplomacy. The quality of this Master's programme owes a great deal to its teaching staff, who may also be active in other programmes at UNIL, or to the renowned practitioners who act as lecturers, enabling students to make even closer links between theory and practice.
