For the PhD program, the tuition feee is 500 CHF per year (ca. 580 USD) for the first and last year, and 65 CHF (ca. 75 USD) per year for the other years.
  • English is accepted for all PhD dissertations.
  • Our staff is eager to offer a stimulating academic context and to be of assistance regarding all administrative aspects (enrollment process, housing opportunities, grants, etc.).
  • Strong international and ecumenical links exist between our Faculty, the Ecumenical Institute of Bossey and the World Council of Churches.
  • Geneva is one of the most international cities in the world with a large English speaking community and numerous international organizations (United Nations, International Red Cross, etc.).
  • If you don't intend to reside in Geneva: our PhD program does not require living in Geneva.
