Copy Editing and Translation

Applications: At the earliest three month before the service and at the latest one month after the service.

Doctoral students can apply for subsidies to cover the costs of copy editing and translation of texts that are not written in their native language and are central for the academic qualification.

Conditions

• Enrolled doctoral students of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences are eligible to apply (also during their leave of absence in the publication phase). 
• In 2025, a subsidy of up to 2000 CHF per person can be requested.
• Multiple applications can be submitted until the maximum sum is reached. There is no entitlement to the grant. Amounts of less than CHF 100 will not be paid out. Furthermore, the budget proviso applies.

Application

Please note the following restrictions during the turn of the year:

• Applications for services in November and December must be submitted by 1 December
• Applications for services in January, February and March can only be submitted from 1 January
