PhD Programme - Psychology
CategoryPosition Welcome to the website of the Romand Doctoral Programme in Psychology (PdrP)
The training provided by the PdrP has as its main objectives to offer Romand doctoral candidates in psychology a platform for training and exchange. It enables them to develop their research and reflection skills through teaching modules that confront them with the most recent developments in the discipline, both methodologically and in terms of knowledge. This training also facilitates the socialisation of doctoral candidates by exposing them to diverse topics within the field of psychology, thus encouraging a broad perspective and allowing them to avoid overly rigid specialisation.
Our programme offers doctoral candidates activities and teachings useful for completing their thesis, but also for their future integration into professional environments where research and development skills are valuable. The modules we offer are structured around three axes: (1) the development of scientific skills, (2) scientific networking, (3) the development of generic professional skills.
Moreover, we structure our offer by distinguishing between basic and specialised modules. The basic modules, mainly methodological, are repeated every 1-2 years depending on demand. Their content also evolves according to recent developments in the discipline. The specialised modules are more focused thematic modules, often benefiting from the availability of external speakers to present their area of expertise. Finally, we ensure to offer modules intended rather for doctoral candidates who are beginning their thesis and others for those already more advanced in their research work.
Upon request, the PdrP issues a certificate indicating the content of the training followed and its equivalent in ECTS credits. However, the validation of credits depends on the doctoral candidates' home institution (often through Doctoral Schools). The awarding of credits is the responsibility of the Universities.
More details on the conditions of participation in the programme and its regulations are available on the CUSO pages: Doctoral Candidates and General Principles and Organisation.
Doctoral candidates have the possibility to choose courses outside the PdrP but their participation will depend on the registration conditions of the concerned programme (e.g. number of places available, etc.).
The university institutes for psychology training in French-speaking Switzerland have jointly organised and managed since 1 st January 2010 a Romand Doctoral Programme in Psychology (PdrP), under the direction of CUSO. This programme is a post-master's training, funded by the Universities, aimed at all doctoral candidates in psychology from these institutes, in the spirit of the so-called Bologna reform.
This training aims to improve the scientific skills of young researchers in psychology in French-speaking Switzerland to ensure a competent and creative new generation. It promotes the socialisation of doctoral candidates, facilitates their integration and mobility within scientific networks, and strengthens collaborations in Switzerland as well as abroad, in a dynamic and enriching educational environment.
This programme is overseen by a Scientific Committee bringing together professors and doctoral candidate representatives in psychology from the partner Universities. The Committee decides on the annual course offer of the programme and the speakers who will deliver these teachings.
Participation in PdrP activities is not mandatory to defend a thesis in psychology. However, it is strongly recommended. Admission to the Doctoral Programme presupposes registration as a doctoral candidate at one of the partner universities.
