Funding / Fellowships
The University of Bern supports early career scientists, who are currently preparing or have already obtained their doctorate, in activities serving to promote networking and profiling within the scientific community: The Fund for the promotion of early career researchers provides these early career scientists with resources to organize courses, continuing education and other networking measures.
Important
In order to prepare a doctoral thesis within the usual time frame of four years, it is essential to focus on the necessary research work. Not all funding models offer the same preconditions in this respect. In certain academic fields, the average duration of a doctorate is more than four years. Depending on the funding model, it is possible to extend the doctorate by a limited amount of time.
