Doctoral examination

Registration for your doctoral examination may either be in person or by post. In any case, you should register at the Doctoral Administration Office 12 working days (Monday – Friday) before your exam will take place. Please inquire at your department if they have an earlier deadline for dissertation submission.

To register for the exam at Doctoral Administration, you require:

1. The exam registration form (PDF, 49 kB) duly signed by the Department to confirm having acquired the credits. This form also verifies that you are the sole author of the dissertation.
2. A bound copy of your dissertation (ring or glue binding, can be printed on both sides) which includes an abstract in a Swiss official language (German, French or Italian) and also in English. A copy of your curriculum vitae should be inserted at the back of the dissertation.

Important: Please check with the study administration of your department whether your co-examiners have already been approved.

An invoice for the global fee of CHF 1.200 will be sent to you by post after registering for the doctoral exam.
