Program Overview

Program Overview

The Master's in Computational Science and Engineering is an interdisciplinary program designed to provide students with a combination of skills in areas such as high performance computing, numerical mathematics, multiscale and multi-physics modeling, together with a wide range of elective application courses.

Program Objectives

The program's objectives are to equip students with an outstanding combination of computer simulation, modeling, and applied mathematics techniques, enabling them to address tomorrow's computational challenges in industry. This Master's program is also an ideal preparation for various PhD programs in basic sciences and engineering.

Simplified Study Plan

The Master's program consists of 120 ECTS credits.

Admission Criteria

• EPFL degrees: EPFL Bachelor's degrees obtained in a discipline related to science or engineering are eligible and subject to a dossier-based analysis, if they meet specific prerequisites.
  • Non-EPFL degrees: Bachelor's degrees obtained in the same fields but from another institution are eligible on the basis of the evaluation of their application dossier, accompanied by excellent academic records.
• Prerequisites for all applications: Excellent competencies in mathematics, programming, and calculus, as well as a strong interest in the chosen field, are required in order to apply them to science and engineering issues.
• The acquisition of additional credits to fill any gaps may be required.
• Please note that meeting all of these criteria is no guarantee of admission.

Teaching Language

The teaching language for the program is English.

Diploma and Title Obtained

Upon completion of their Master's curricula, students obtain an EPFL Master of Science (MSc) in Computational Science and Engineering. The diploma also gives graduates the right to use the title of EPF qualified Engineer.
