EPFL Summer Internship Program in Switzerland

The School of Computer and Communication Sciences of the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) offers summer fellowships to international students.

With the EPFL Summer Internship Program, dive into cutting-edge research projects with a three-month fellowship at one of the most prestigious universities in the world.

Fellowship recipients will participate into the life of a research unit, typically to help solve problems which are usually part of major research efforts. Often, this will lead to performing challenging programming or design tasks to prove new concepts.

To be considered for the EPFL Summer Fellowship Program, you must:

• Be enrolled in BSc, BTech, MSc, MTech, or equivalent programmes in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, or Electrical Engineering.

• PhD students are not eligible.

• At the time of application, applicants must be enrolled in the 2nd year Bachelor or above (therefore, all applicants must have successfully completed at least their 1st year of the Bachelor's programme).

• Projects are offered competitively to students with excellent academic results.

During a period of two to three months (possibly but not necessarily including the 2nd week of July), as individually agreed with the hosting lab.

Accepted students will receive a living allowance of CHF 1,800- per month (pro rata to the actual duration) and a refund of travel costs (2nd-class train ticket or low-cost/economy airfare).
