Graduate Academy

The Graduate Academy is open to all (post-) doctoral students at the University of Lucerne and is currently being built up as a contact point for our University’s junior researchers.

It sees itself primarily as an institution to support networking and offering a wide variety of courses and services (currently being conceptualized) to doctoral and postdoctoral students. The selection and the academic as well as administrative supervision remain with the faculties. More concretely, all details regarding admission, PhD regulations, and anything else related to obtaining a doctoral degree or completing a post-doc can be found on the websites of the University’s faculties.

Offers by the Graduate Academy, such as the Transferable Skills course program, provide an additional framework for training and support (post-) doctoral students on their way to a future career - be it in academia or outside. All offers are open to - and free of charge for - all researchers, post-docs and doctoral students at the University of Lucerne and its partner institutions.

Once fully operative, the Graduate Academy will serve as a digital entry point making visible all major cooperations the University of Lucerne has with external partner institutions as well as cooperations set up by individual faculties.
