PhD Program - Psychology
CategoryPosition Welcome to the website of the Romand Doctoral Program in Psychology (PdrP)
The training provided by the PdrP has as its main objectives to provide Romand doctoral students in psychology with a platform for training and exchange. It allows them to develop their research and reflection skills through teaching modules that expose them to the most recent developments in the discipline, both methodologically and in terms of knowledge. This training also enables the socialization of doctoral students by exposing them to diverse topics in the field of psychology, thus promoting a broadening of perspective and allowing them to avoid overly rigid specialization.
Our program offers doctoral students activities and teachings useful for the completion of their thesis, but also for their future integration into professional environments where research and development skills are valuable. The modules we offer are organized 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 basic modules and specific 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 specific modules are more specialized 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 students who are beginning their thesis and others for those already more advanced in their research work.
Upon request, the PdrP issues a certificate mentioning the content of the training followed and its equivalent in ECTS credits. However, the validation of credits depends on the doctoral students' 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 program and its regulations are available on the CUSO pages: Doctoral Students and General Principles and Organization.
Doctoral students have the possibility to choose courses outside the PdrP but their participation will depend on the registration conditions of the concerned program (e.g., number of available places, etc.).
The university institutes of psychology training in French-speaking Switzerland have jointly organized and managed since January 1, 2010, a Romand Doctoral Program in Psychology (PdrP), under the direction of the CUSO. This program is a post-master's training, funded by the Universities, aimed at all doctoral students 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 socialization of doctoral students, facilitates their integration and mobility in scientific networks, and strengthens collaborations in Switzerland as well as abroad, in a dynamic and enriching educational environment.
This program is overseen by a Scientific Committee bringing together professors and doctoral student representatives in psychology from the partner Universities. The Committee decides on the annual course offerings of the program 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 Program presupposes registration as a doctoral student at one of the partner universities.
