Goal: Educate students to become researchers and future leaders in Computer Science. Duration: 5 to 6 years. Study: M.S. in Computer Science Research: Ph.D.

Requirements

Same as the M.S. in Computer Science but the motivation letter must be different.

Motivation Letter

  • Explain concisely the motivation and suitability to do doctoral studies in computer science in ETH.
  • Describe any past research, and teaching experience, identify general areas of research.
  • Reflect on two preferred research groups’ work you are interested in to complete the doctoral program. What are their main areas of study and what papers support that case?
  • Future career plans.

No word limit. But usually it is recommended up to 2 pages (not sure).

Check out tips to write a Motivation Letter. Also it would be beneficial to mention the possibility to join the Deep-Tech Incubation Program.

Other questions the letter must answer:

  • Why did you choose that research field?
  • Why did you choose Computer Science at ETHz?
  • What makes you a student that the ETHz wants?
  • After explaining your past choices, why ETHz is the logical step for you?
