Coming to EPFL

EPFL has an extended network of partner universities throughout the world

Exchange semester or year
A university exchange provides the benefit of international experience without interrupting your university studies. Grades obtained at EPFL are recognised by its partner universities.
Master’s thesis or other lab project

Each year EPFL enables students to complete their Master’s thesis or another project in a laboratory under the supervision of one of its professors that they will have previously contacted.

Double or joint degree

Coming to EPFL for a double or a joint degree guarantees continuation of studies at a prestigious institution.

Research Internship Program
Since 2013, the Research Internship Program has provided the opportunity to a handful of brilliant students from a select group of institutions to experience 3-month internships in EPFL laboratories.
