How the formal pathway works
Admission route
Candidates must first find a supervisor, either through an advertised position or by contacting a group leader directly; the graduate school does not offer funded positions itself. Applications go to Student Services with a provisional dissertation description and a supervisor's written commitment, followed by a doctoral agreement within six months of matriculation.
Funding check
Funding comes from the supervisor's position or external awards; the Faculty of Medicine notes that strong MD-PhD candidates can apply for SNSF support. Check the conditions of any specific award.
