 FINANCIAL INFORMATION
You are required to register as a doctoral student at the University of Zurich (280 CHF per term). The first year of the doctoral program requires a full-time commitment to studies. To make this possible, Swiss Finance Institute provides grants of SFR 2’700 net per month to admitted candidates.
After this first year, as the course load lightens and the emphasis turns to research, doctoral students are financed by teaching assistantships or research grants offered by the University of Zurich and providing a wide range of teaching and research experience. Typically our doctoral students have thus secured financial support ranging from SFR 30’000 to SFR 60’000 on an annual basis – with an average that we estimate at SFR 50’000 per year – while in the second phase of the program.
 Working conditions
Doctoral students are provided offices from the first year of the program on. They also benefit of a wide range of first-class university facilities - library, computers, sports facilities, etc.- provided by the University of Zurich and the ETH Zurich.
 More Scholarships
Depending where you come from, there are several organisations which offer various scholarships, for example the Swiss Government, the Institute of International Education, the Fulbright Program, the German DAAD and so on. Please search the Internet.
