PhD Applications & “Swiss Scholarships”

All applications to the PhD program at the Geneva Graduate Institute are channeled through the Institute’s application portal (click [here] for more information). The professors jointly evaluate the applications and decide on admission. They are not able to commit to supervise students who have not yet been admitted. Please contact our admission office at admission@graduateinstitute.ch for more information about the application process.

All this also holds for applications to the Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship through the Geneva Graduate Institute. You may submit your application to the Institute in the admission round with a deadline of 15 October. If your application is successful, you will receive:

• an official letter confirming your conditional admission (subject to the award of the Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship), and

• the assignment of a potential supervisor.

Together, these documents will enable you to meet the eligibility requirements of the scholarship.
