How to register online and prepare your application

Online application to a Doctoral studies programme with a Master issued by a Swiss university or a Swiss university of applied sciences (HES)
 

Candidates must also satisfy the following requirements:

Agreement of a professor to act as thesis supervisor;

Agreement of the Faculty.
 

 

Procedure

After having confirmed your online application, you must send within 3 weeks and before the deadline the required documents (see below) to the following address:

Université de Lausanne
Service des immatriculations
et inscriptions

Unicentre
CH-1015 Lausanne

 

 
 

Content of applications for a doctoral programme (Please do not submit stitched documents!):
 

- a copy of the confirmation of the online application sent to the candidate by e-mail immediately after applying online

- 1 passport format photograph

- a copy of the secondary school diploma, the university diploma(s), as well as the diploma supplement(s) if received. 

- a copy of all transcripts obtained in all examinations taken at the university or HES. 

- the exmatriculation certificate of the university or university of applied sciences at which you are / were enrolled (if you have not finished your studies yet, this document can be submitted later on but at the latest at the beginning of the semester when you confirm your enrolment)

- a complete curriculum vitae

- a copy of the passport or identity card

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.

Candidates will be informed personally of the result of their application and of any necessary formalities required to complete their registration.
