Annual Thesis Survey | Activity Reports

The Annual Thesis Survey is an online questionnaire composed of a single question sent to all doctoral candidates at UNIL and their supervisors, once a year.

The goal is to allow each person to express their opinion confidentially, and to recall the principles laid down in the Code of Practice for the Doctorate.

You will find the activity reports presenting the key figures on the dedicated web page.

UNIL Doctorate Holders Career Survey

What happens to graduates after their doctorate? This is the question we ask with our annual survey.

The goal is to provide a year-by-year portrait of doctorate holders three years after graduation, in terms of their current professional situation, the relevance of the doctorate in their professional activity, and their expectations and satisfaction with their professional life after the doctorate.
