Ph.D. in Expressive Arts
The doctoral program in Expressive Arts combines two Summer residential training's at EGS leading to a Certificate of Advanced Post-Graduate Studies (CAGS) with individualized dissertation research in the student's home country. The Summer training is conducted in English; dissertations can be written in English, German or French if suitable advisors can be found. The granting of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by EGS has been approved by the Ministry of Education, Canton Wallis, Switzerland.
The CAGS is designed as a self-sufficient unit. Students may choose to enroll in the CAGS without intending to go on to achieve the Ph.D. degree. However, for those students who wish to go on to achieve the Ph.D., the successful completion of the CAGS is a prerequisite for advancement to Doctoral Candidacy and the writing of the Dissertation.
The Doctoral Program consists of two parts:
Qualifying Period
Here the student completes the requirements and writes a Qualifying Paper. If it is accepted, the student can proceed to Doctoral Candidacy.
Candidacy Period
The student establishes their Doctoral Committee and writes their Dissertation with the help of their Senior Advisor. The Doctoral Committee must approve the Dissertation Proposal.
When the Dissertation is completed and accepted by the Committee, the Doctoral Examination and Defense will take place. Upon successful completion of the Doctoral Defense, the student will be awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The degree will be formally conferred during the Summer school subsequent upon the completion of the Defense. Students are encouraged to attend the Ceremony of Conferral of the Degree and celebrate the occasion.
