FAQs
1. Are non-Indian, non-Australian or non-Singapore citizens eligible to apply for the program?
All enrolled students at accredited Indian, Australian and Singapore universities are eligible, but ability to participate will depend on obtaining a visa, if necessary.
2. Can the scholarship also be applied to projects at public research institutions or private higher education institutions?
The scholarship supports research at public universities and public research institutions. However, we do not support research stays at private higher education or research institutions.
3. How do I find a hosting institution and/or a professor in Switzerland?
Finding a professor in Switzerland is part of the due diligence process that the applicant must conduct on his/her own.
4. Are there any language requirements?
In Switzerland, undergraduate courses are usually taught in the respective region’s national language (German, French or Italian) and graduate programs are often offered in English.
However, for a research stay in Switzerland foreign language skills are not required, as the working language will generally be English. Knowledge of any Swiss national language would of course be helpful for daily life.
