Financing Opportunities for Doctoral Program in Economics at University of Zurich

Overview of Courses: 

First Year: During their first year of doctoral studies, students take core courses in Mathematics, Econometrics, Macroeconomics and Microeconomics. These core courses provide the foundation for the topic or specialization courses taken during the second year, which are held by UZH faculty and by distinguished international scholars. Further, students have the opportunity to present the results of their own research in several specialized seminar series. Finally, there are many weekly research seminars with guest speakers.

Second Year: While the first year of the program will typically be devoted to the core courses, students in their second year will have the opportunity to work on their dissertation projects along with attending the second year program. A Research Proposal is also part of the program and has to be done within 6 semesters.

Third Year and Beyond: Thesis and Defense. The doctoral thesis can either be a monograph or an accumulation of published research papers. All professors of the Department of Economics can function as a supervisor. The report with a grade for the doctoral thesis will be written by your supervisor and co-supervisor.

Fast Track: The fast-track program is aimed at students who hold an excellent Bachelor’s degree and who are interested in pursuing an academic career. In addition to a dissertation, the structured fast-track PhD program requires successful participation in courses at both Master’s and doctoral level. A Master’s degree is acquired first, followed by a PhD.
