How to transmit your documents
The method of transmitting the documents will be communicated to the candidate when registering online. Most of the documents mentioned above can be downloaded immediately but depending on the situation of the candidate some documents will have to be sent by post to the following address:
Université de Lausanne Service des immatriculations et inscriptions Unicentre 1015 Lausanne If the diploma giving entitlement to registration is issued only during the summer preceding immediately the beginning of the academic year, the candidate provides the other documents within the specified deadline, indicating the date on which the copy of the diploma giving access to UNIL will be sent to the Admissions Office. |
The prospective PhD student must also send the two copies of the completed and signed PdD form to his/her thesis director. The link to the form is provided in the online application and in the email acknowledging receipt sent immediately after the confirmation by the candidate (to be printed out by him/her). The thesis director signs and forwards the form to the Doctoral School or the Dean’s Office, who stamps and signs the document before returning it to the Admissions Office by 15 October 2022 (autumn semester 2022/2023) or 28 February 2023 (spring semester 2023). It is therefore important for the candidate to forward the PhD form to the thesis director without delay. |
Candidates will be informed personally of the result of their application and of any necessary formalities required to complete their registration. |
