The European Graduate School

Doctoral Study in the Expressive Arts:
Therapy, Education, Consulting and Social Change


The European Graduate School (EGS) is a Swiss university that was established in 1994 for the purpose of providing graduate education for professionals. The main campus of EGS, Saas-Fee, is located in Wallis, Switzerland, where intensive summer seminars take place from June to August each year. During the rest of the year, continuous seminars and workshops on local sites of affiliated institutions and Internet-based learning prepare students for the summer residencies. The programs of the European Graduate School are distinguished by their cross-disciplinary approach as well as by the collegial interaction of professors with students. The language of instruction is English but theses and dissertations may also be submitted in German and French.

EGS is comprised of two Divisions: Media and Communication and Arts, Health and Society (AHS). The AHS Division offers graduate (Masters) and postgraduate (CAGS and Doctoral) degrees in Expressive Arts: Therapy, Consulting, Education and Social Change.

Teaching takes place in the town of Saas Fee in the Swiss Alps in two sessions each summer from June to August. Students and faculty from all over the world meet to participate in intensive training seminars in Expressive Arts.
The setting of the campus in the Alps at an altitude of 1,800 m (6,000 ft.), with a magnificent view of some of Switzerland's highest mountains, provides a unique learning atmosphere.

The Doctoral Program in Expressive Arts combines two Summer residential trainings 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. The granting of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by EGS is approved by the Ministry of Education, Canton Wallis, Switzerland.
