The CYD Master Thesis Fellowship supports a cyber-security or data-science thesis at Switzerland’s Cyber-Defence Campus. It offers CHF 2,500 per month for up to six months and up to CHF 1,500 for justified research equipment specific to the project. General IT purchases are excluded. For EPFL students the allowance is paid as gross salary and is subject to social contributions. Citizens of every African country may apply, with no age limit. Applicants must already be enrolled in a master’s programme at a Swiss university or university of applied sciences and have endorsement from a professor or supervisor there.

Choose an advertised thesis topic or propose one, read the official guidelines and submit the required documents in English through EPFL’s MoveIN platform. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Selection is competitive: shortlisted applicants need a prospective CYD Campus mentor’s endorsement to proceed to the second stage.
