2. Students from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. Successful candidates are expected to respect and value individual differences. Some merit-based scholarships are available, supported by the Swiss Institute of Particle Physics (CHIPP) and the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT).

Score requirements:

Bachelor's degree students-

- Bachelor's degree average score at exams ranked in the "top 10-15%"

Master's degree students-
