A Swiss PhD usually takes 3-5 years. Traditional doctorates focus on independent research; more structured programmes include additional training and sometimes involve two or more universities working in partnership. Both types of PhD require you to produce an original thesis and present it for a public examination. Some programmes are delivered in English, with others offered in German, French or Italian.
If you are an enthusiastic and responsible student with a background (MSc or equivalent) in applied microbiology, molecular bio(techno)logy, or chemical biology, and if you are looking for an opportunity to help shaping the future of how we treat diseases, vaccinate people, or save crops, then we are looking for you.

The qualification is equivalent to a PhD, but usually involves more taught and practice-based elements as well as original research. Applicants are usually relatively experienced professionals and often study part-time alongside their current roles.
