Application deadlines for a Doctorate programme for candidates with a Swiss university or HES Master
Autumn semester | Spring semester
Autumn semester
A complete application has to reach the Admissions Service :
Autumn semester 2013/2014:
before 31 July 2013
The Admissions Service will send the “attestation de thèse” forms to the candidate. They have to be completed, presented to the thesis director for a confirmation signature and handed in to the Doctoral School or the Dean’s Office (precise instructions can be found on the back of these forms).
Note : to speed up the procedure, the “attestation de thèse” forms are sent to the candidates prior to examination of their formal eligibility. This does not necessarily imply that the candidate has been admitted.
The faculty or school must return one of the two “attestation de thèse” forms, signed by the thesis director and the Dean’s Office, to the Admissions Service before 15 October 2013 (autumn semester 2013/2014) or 1 March 2013 or 2014 (spring semester 2013 or 2014). If the "attestation de thèse" form has been submitted to the Admissions Service after these deadlines, the registration will be postponed to the next semester.
It is therefore important that the candidate sends the “attestation de thèse” forms to his/her thesis director as soon as possible.
