ArchitectureFrom design to complete assembly of the building, the architect is the final overseer of what he or she has conceived in response to users’ needs. The architect works within a specific cultural, legal, technical and economic framework to give life to a building in terms of its context, its use, its materiality.
Landscape ArchitectureA key player in the development of our towns and countryside, the landscape architect plans, develops, manages and protects rural and urban spaces, both private and public, taking into account town and country planning, engineering problems, ecological and social aspects. Civil EngineeringThe role of the civil engineer encompasses transport and mobility, hydraulics, geotechnics, structures and foundations. He or she meets society’s needs in terms of infrastructure and construction works, ensuring public safety and environmental protection.
Energy and Building TechnologyThe engineer will acquire strong skills in the most appropriate technologies related to the realisation of buildings together with a conceptualisation and planning project.
AgronomyThe agronomist performs supervisory responsibilities and applies technical expertise to the mechanisms of living entities in relations to food crops and ornamental vegetation, soil and water protection. He or she conducts research, trains or advises professionals in the production, fertilization, protection and optimisation of cultivated land.
Environmental Engineering The environmental engineer makes ecological diagnoses and applies natural land-use solutions, plans follow-up and maintenance initiatives, advises and involves the direct users on the land. His or her actions are ecology-focused and take into account economic, social and cultural dimensions.
Life SciencesYou greatly value the natural heritage in which you live and feel a sense of responsibility towards the environmental challenges facing our planet. Earth and environmental sciences and the search for “green” solutions for the future excite you, entice your ambition to help manage and make the most of our natural resources.
Construction and EnvironmentYou see your life in three dimensions. The urban environment and its constructions fascinate you. Or perhaps you are drawn to the integration and preservation of urban and rural landscapes and feel concerned about the environment. Whatever your preferences or convictions are, you know it is possible for human activity to co-exist harmoniously with the needs of the built environment, of nature and of the landscape.
Career prospects*
Industry, consultancy, design of equipment and production, sales, operation and maintenance of networks and systems, development of new services, all sectors of the economy included.
Career prospects*
Industry, design and development of products, machines and systems, industrial services (energy, water, etc.), transport, environmental protection, medical instrumentation, watch making, bio-engineering, nano-bio-technology, etc.
* These lists are not exhaustive. Visit our website www.hesge.ch/hepia to learn more about the exciting professional prospects that a HES Bachelor’s degree can offer you.
Information Technology EngineeringThe engineer in IT designs, realises and exploits software and hardware adapted to the needs of society in terms of information and communication, while taking into account human, technical, economic and environmental constraints. As a result of the merge of computer engineering and telecommunications networks, the aim of this training is to comprehend a wide range of electronic and computing technics including networks and telecommunications of our present environment.
Three orientations are offered to better fulfil processional demands :• Computer software and complex systems: application
developments in large-scale systems and mini-systems;• Computer hardware : processor design, communicating embedded
systems• Communications, multimedia and networks : consulting and short
and long distance network operation.
Mechanical EngineeringRobotics, energetics, resources management, design, medical technologies, research and applications involving new materials : the mechanical engineer skilled in eco-engineering and materials or fluid mechanics and energy is responsible for researching, developing and conducting projects in a wide range of industrial fields. Analytical and creative, he or she associates shapes, materials, energies and information to create a part or a function in a machine or an industrial process.
Micro Engineering In this multi-facetted profession are designed, produced and used components, devises and microsystems. The microengineer possesses skills in electronics, microelectronics, IT, optics, acoustics, physics, chemistry, mechanics and micromechanics, as well as materials sciences. Specialisations in applied physics, electronic design, materials as well as watch making, open broad professional perspectives.
Information Technology EngineeringYou want to be a stakeholder in tomorrow’s world; to create, to develop, to make a contribution and to hone your talents. With a wide range of fields of application, considerable emphasis on imagination and initiative, a constantly expanding job market and attractive remuneration a career in information and communication technology is yours for the taking.
Industrial TechnologyYou want to play an active role in all activities related to industry, the production and transmission of energy, the design and manufacturing of objects and machines. Or you’re fascinated by miniaturization and its extraordinary applications or have a liking for precision and hope one day to design “high-tech” components and systems. To cut a long story short, you have but one aim: to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of technology, materials and their properties.
hepia offers a number of continuing education courses:
Master of Advanced Studies “Energy and Sustainable Development in the Built Environment” (60 ECTS) This Master, jointly offered by four Universities of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland is intended for architects, engineers and construction professionals. It will enable them to master innovative technology, the needs in energy and sustainable development in built environment.
Master of Advanced Studies in Micro and Nano Technology (60 ECTS) This Master is a joint effort of the Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences which allows students to benefit as much as possible of the up-to-date existing infrastructures.
