Student projects

We offer three types of student projects, proposed as follows. Projects are always available for EPFL MSc students, and if the information here is not up to date, the best is to come directly to the potential Advisor for discussion or contact us via e-mail. General and further information about them can be found on the STI website.

BSc Semester Project (6 ECTS credits).

MSc Semester Project (11 ECTS credits)

MSc Thesis (30 ECTS credits).
