The number of Ph.D-students not working in my team is to provide for excellent supervision. Successful applicants are expected to have outstanding academic credentials (MLaw, Lizentiat, JD etc.) and must demonstrate a proven interest in legal scholarship, intellectual curiosity, and personal integrity.
When applying as a Ph.D-student you are expected to have read and understood all relevant regulations and information on dissertation projects provided by the Faculty of Law of the University of Zurich (general admission requirements, administrative questions, application procedure)
It is strongly recommended to check whether dissertations on the same or similar topics have been published recently or are in progress. Link
