Taking a doctorate at ETH Zurich is an excellent career investment
ETH Zurich is one of the world’s most reputed institutions of science and technology. A legacy we take responsibly in the context of an interconnected world. In the heart of Europe, it offers a combination of excitement, excellence, inspiring education, and outstanding facilities for research in a diverse cultural setting.
An ETH Zurich doctorate is typically obtained after four years of study devoted to an original and independent scientific research project, with the support of a professor. Doctoral students are employed as scientific assistants, and in their role as students, obliged to continue their education inside and outside their specialist area. At the end of their research project, the results are compiled in a thesis that is defended in an oral examination. On successful completion of their doctorate, students are awarded the title “Doctor of Sciences (Dr. sc. ETH Zurich)”. more info about ETH Zurich doctorate
