FINANCIAL AID

The Institute strives to support its students throughout the duration of their studies, to the extent of its ability. It does so through financial aid (below) and paid jobs (teaching assistantships, research assistantships and administrative positions).

In particular, the Institute makes extensive efforts to assist its doctoral students. As of September 2023, all new doctoral students will be fully funded with a support package including both a stipend and a large contribution toward tuition fees. Doctoral students can supplement this package with documented, limited gainful employment, either off-campus or in an on-campus teaching or research assistantship.

In a spirit of responsibility and solidarity, all of our students contribute toward the cost of our students’ education, including those receiving financial aid. The pre-registration fee of CHF 1,000, paid by new students to confirm their enrolment, contributes to the Graduate Institute’s solidarity fund.
