PhD Applications

I often receive emails from prospective students asking if I have openings for PhD students, and/or if I am willing to supervise their PhD work. This is sometimes related to the Swiss Scholarship program or to advertised positions financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation.

 

Please note that admissions to our programs are not decided by individual professors. There is a process which starts with a formal application (click here for more information). Each application is then evaluated by a committee of professors who then decide on admission. Applications are purely evaluated on merit and, unfortunately, we can only admit a small share of the students who apply to our PhD program. 

​I am unable to make individual admission decisions, or supervise students who are not enrolled in our program, or commit to supervise students who have not yet been admitted. Therefore, do not sent me application material by email or any other mean. All applications need to be channeled through the Institute's application portal: https://www.graduateinstitute.ch/application  

If you need more information about the applications process (including on how to fulfill the requirements for the Swiss Scholarship program), please contact the our admission office at: prospective@graduateinstitute.ch
