School of Computer and Communication Sciences

Our School is one of the main European centers for education and research in the field of computing.

What’s happening this week ?

We take pride in educating students at all levels in the exciting and world-changing fields of science and technology, performing research that drives forward the boundaries of knowledge, as well as fostering the commercial use of our research and the entrepreneurial spirit of our faculty and students.

The artifacts and software of the technology revolution have changed peoples’ lives in countless ways over the past half century. And, this revolution is not over! The intellectual accomplishments of computer science are diffusing into many other disciplines, changing the way that researchers, practitioners, and people in general see their world and conceive of solutions. We are proud and happy to be at the center of these revolutions.

Education

We offer a bachelor program in Computer Science and one in Communications. We also offer four master’s programs: Computer Science, Communications, Data Science and Cyber Security.

Research

Research in IC spans a broad range of topics. Our faculty members are world leaders in many of these areas, and our PhD students go on to successful careers in academia and industry throughout Switzerland and the world.

Innovation

Our school works closely with industry, both in Switzerland and throughout the world, to lend our expertise to solve challenging problems and to bring new ideas from our labs into innovative products.

Linking EPFL Schools via Interdisciplinary Projects

28.04.21Research

With the idea to promote and encourage collaboration among scientists, the College of Management of Technology (CDM) has initiated a new Interdisciplinary Strategy to seed new collaborative research ties between key research areas of the College and other research domains present at EPFL. This strategic program aims both at boosting the huge potential of interdisciplinary projects which already feature at EPFL and at fostering the integration of the College on the EPFL campus.

EPFL School of Life Sciences joins the Center for Intelligent Systems

20.04.21EPFL community

The School of Life Sciences (SV) has joined the Center for Intelligent Systems (CIS) to combine artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision and robotics with expertise in the life sciences, and create intelligent systems in life sciences. Being an equal partner alongside EPFL’s other schools will further strengthen the development of interdisciplinary projects across the campus and push the boundaries of research.
