École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) proposes courses in microengineering. Studies in the preparatory and first year of the Bachelor's programme focus mainly on acquiring a scientific base, i.e. analysis, physics and a project to design an object that the student will make during an internship in a machining workshop.

The second year of the Bachelor's programme covers all areas of micro-engineering: systems and commands, electrical engineering and photonics, products and production. A first project completes the course which leads to a Bachelor of Science in Microengineering.

The Master's in Mircoengineering proposes four specialisms – microsystems and nanosystems, applied optics, robotics and autonomous systems, and production techniques – and opens a wide range of careers to young engineers who graduate with a Master of Science in Microegineering.
