Lausanne's international side shows up where you'd expect: the Journalist, Diplomat and Film benches trace the UN agencies, the IOC headquarters and the French-language broadcasting culture that made the city one of Europe's quiet administrative capitals. A Pianist cohort running well above the Swiss baseline carries the Conservatoire tradition, and the Photographer and Architect lines reflect the EPFL-and-ECAL design axis that has defined Lausanne since the 1960s.
