The PhD programme in Computational Science is a joint initiative of the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, which aims to:
Computational Science is an interdisciplinary field that leverages computational methods, algorithms, and simulations to solve complex scientific problems within the realms of biology, physics, chemistry, earth sciences, astronomy, and other natural sciences. Computational science offers methods of scientific inquiry, complementing theory and experiments, and expanding the potential for discovery and innovation.
Applicants to the program are expected to have a background both in computing and natural science.
The Computational Sciences PhD programme is a 3-4year MSc to PhD program. Participating students can choose from a broad selection of research topics and classes. Enrollment into the program is decided by an admission committee. In order to graduate, students need to fulfill the following requirements:
The final degree is conferred by either the University of Zurich or the ETH Zürich, depending on the academic affiliation of the host laboratory.
