AISTS Campus

AISTS Lausanne Campus

The AISTS headquarter is located with the University of Lausanne (UNIL) campus, at the Synathlon building, which hosts various sporting institutions and acts as hub of international sport, education and cutting edge research.

The design of the building strikes an emblematic note while at the same time blending seamlessly into the University of Lausanne campus. Encased in the wall of windows along all four corners of it’s five-stories, the building offers sweeping views of Lake Geneva and the Dorigny neighbourhood in which it sits.

With its views and clean lines, the Synathlon makes a striking architectural statement. The project comes from the Zurich office Karamuk and Kuo. The venue includes a 200-seat auditorium, cafeteria and meeting spaces, in addition to the office space and classrooms.

UNIL is located next to the EPFL Campus and its world-famous Rolex Learning Center. The campus is situated on the scenic shores of Lake Geneva, facing the Alps.

The EPFL campus, together with the campus of the University of Lausanne, provides a modern sports centre with outdoor and indoor facilities. It offers the possibility for AISTS MAS participants to practice over 60 different sports, offered daily, and within walking distance from the classroom.

The city of Lausanne is the Olympic Capital, located on the shores of Lake Leman, surrounded by a breathtaking view of the Alps.

Home to the International Olympic Committee, the surrounding region hosts over 60 international sport organisations, together with a concentration of internationally renowned universities and research centres.

The unique concentration of international sports organisations within the immediate region provides an exceptional opportunity to engage top-level professionals from these organisations who frequently speak and lecture in the AISTS MAS programme. The large number of international sport organisations also provides a wide variety of team projects and work placement opportunities, which is an integral part of the AISTS MAS programme.
