ETH Medal and Willi Studer Prize 2024
The Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering has awarded 12 Master's students with the ETH Medal and five with the Willi Studer Prize. The awards for their outstanding achievements were presented during the Master's Ceremony 2024.
The ETH Medal is awarded as distinction for outstanding Master's theses. Prerequisite are a grade of 6 for the thesis, an average final grade of at least 5.25, and a written endorsement from the thesis supervisor. In addition to scientific excellence, aspects such as the innovative character of the thesis, the choice of an independent research approach, or the contribution to the group's research work are also taken into account.
ETH Zurich awards the Willi Studer Prize to the best graduate from each Master's program. If more than one student achieves the top grade in a degree program, several students will receive the Willi Studer Prize.
