PhD Programs

Students will be enrolled in the existing UZH graduate programs of the various faculties. ITINERARE offers its PhD students the benefit of transdisciplinary synergies by fostering dual supervision by a specialist of the thesis topic and a scientist from another discipline. PhD students working in diverse fields of rare diseases will be able to attend modules and events of other PhD programs. It is intended that the curriculum of the individual programs should be open to other disciplines (e.g. associated participation). This will ensure interdisciplinary exchange. On the one hand, there will be an exchange with experts from another discipline and, on the other, strengthen peer-to-peer relations between different fields as well as the involved established PhD programs.
