How do I submit my thesis to the BCUL?


Answer

The deposit of the dissertation is done electronically via IRIS

The BCUL is responsible for validating your submission. Please visit the following webpage: https://www.bcu-lausanne.ch/depot-des-theses-lausannoises/

Once a thesis is submitted, the validation process takes a maximum of 10 business days. Doctoral students receive a confirmation email once the thesis submission has been validated.

A step-by-step guide for entering your thesis into IRIS is available on the UNIL wiki: https://wiki.unil.ch/recherche/books/user-guide/page/entering-your-thesis-in-iris.

For personalized assistance, you can schedule an appointment on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM.

If you have questions about publication support (for example, regarding the choice of licenses), the contact information for the various faculties is listed here: https://www.unil.ch/unil/en/home/menuinst/recherche/personnes-de-contact.html.
