chemistry phd switzerland

Faculty of Science

Phd chemistry and molecular sciences.

Chemistry leads us to the building blocks of life and matter, from the nano-level of the atom and molecules to the macroscopic substances of which the universe around us is made of. It leads us from the most simple molecules, from which billions of years ago life developed to the modern nanotechnolgy.

The research project should lead to scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals. At the end of the PhD studies, the results will be collected in a written thesis and examined by international experts. The PhD degree is the highest academic degree and opens the broadest career opportunities in industry and academia for positions in Switzerland and abroad. Thanks to the big number of companies in the chemical field in Switzerland, chemists with a PhD degree are always in demand.

Requirements, after the phd.

In some cases, the student can be requested to attend additional lectures to acquire further knowledge that has not been gained during the master studies.

In all other cases, the attendance of master lectures is not mandatory during the PhD studies.

In addition to the official and legally binding German version of the study plan that can be found further up under "Legal Basis", we also provide an English translation of this document for your convenience.

During the PhD studies

During the 3-4 years of the PhD studies, the students have to follow the doctoral program in Chemistry and Molecular Sciences. All new PhD students receive a PhD-binder from the administrator of the PhD program (room N513) and will be informed in detail about the doctoral program.

Please make sure that you also take care of the various administrative procedures on time that are mentioned under "deadlines".

Welcome Center

The Welcome Center of the University of Bern offers help to the PhD students before their arrival and during their stay in Bern. This is especially helpful for people that move here from abroad.

The study program in Chemistry and Molecular Sciences of the University of Bern consists of

• the bachelor program (6 semesters, 180 ECTS, degree: Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Molecular Sciences)
• the master's program (3 semesters, 90 ETCS, in English, degree: Master of Sciences in Chemistry and Molecular Sciences)
• the PhD program (3 to 4 years, in English, degree: PhD of Science in Chemistry and Molecular Science)

A PhD thesis in Chemistry and Molecular Sciences generally takes 3-4 years. The thesis consists of a specialized research project within a group at the Departement für Chemie, Biochemie und Pharmazie (DCBP), and leads to a written thesis and several scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals, which will be key assets for your future career. Make sure to select a research topic you like as your work will become an important part of your life.

As a PhD student, you benefit from the high quality offered in seminars at the DCBP and the neighboring institutes. After one year you also participate in the "1st-year graduate student symposium" and compete for the graduate student award. You usually attend a summer school or an international congress every year to present your work and thus integrate the international research community. Part of your training also includes acting as a teaching assistant in laboratory courses (usually 7 weeks per year).

Tasks within chemistry program

In case your admissions letter from the dean’s office of the Science Faculty said that you are required to attend some lectures from the master’s program, please bring a copy of this letter to the administrator of the PhD-program (room S170) at the beginning of your studies. The student administration office will then help you to open up a KSL account which will be necessary to register for the exams. At the end of your studies, you can print out an overview of your grades which you will have to hand in to the dean’s office to get your diploma.

Once you have started your PhD studies at the DCBP you have to get the PhD program binder from the administrator of the PhD-program (room S170).

File all the required papers in connection with the program throughout your studies in the PhD binder.

Once a year, your supervisor should sign off on the earned ECTS from the past year until you have reached the required 30 ECTS.

Make sure that approximately 4 weeks before you hold your thesis defense, your binder is complete as your supervisor will be asked by the director of studies to confirm that you have fulfilled all the requirements of the PhD program. Only when all the ECTS have been earned and the doctoral thesis has been passed, the doctoral program is successfully completed.

At the latest 3 months before your thesis defense you have to fill out a form for admissions approval of your second examiner (external evaluator). The form can be found on the website of the dean’s office under “ Application (PDF, 750KB) ”. Please give the filled-out form as well as a copy of the CV to the student administration office for chemistry that will get the necessary signatures.

Creation of a detailed "catalogue" of degradation products in cells

Cells have their own quality control to prevent the production and accumulation of harmful proteins. This quality control is essential for correct embryonic development in all mammals and plays an important role in tumors and genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis. A group of researchers from the University of Bern and the University of Basel have now made visible and cataloged for the first time, "blueprints" that give rise to defective proteins and are normally recognized and rapidly degraded in cells. This leads to a better understanding of this degradation mechanism and helps in the development of new therapeutic approaches.

Kagome graphene promises exciting properties

For the first time, physicists from the University of Basel, working in collaboration with the Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences of the University of Bern, have produced a graphene compound consisting of carbon atoms and a small number of nitrogen atoms in a regular grid of hexagons and triangles. This honeycomb-structured “kagome lattice” behaves as a semiconductor and may also have unusual electrical properties. In the future, it could potentially be used in electronic sensors or quantum computers.
