Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne (EPFL) Computer Science Graduate School Admission Results

B.Sc. EPFL in CS

There are two possible ways to join the program: either with a one-year EDIC fellowship, or by being hired directly by an EDIC-affiliated lab. Your application has unfortunately not been selected for a fellowship; however, you are considered eligible for the program. (Part of email from the admission office) This means I must now seek a lab that is willing to fund my doctoral studies. I have also heard that securing a fellowship in the 2nd round is exceptionally difficult; however, the department has decided to discontinue the 2nd round starting in 2026. Best of luck to future applicants.
