The PSC PhD Program in Plant Sciences requires completion of 12 ECTS (ETHZ & UZH, credit points) and 18 ECTS (UNIBAS) from courses organized or accredited by the PSC. This includes: PSC courses, Life Science Zurich Graduate School (LSZGS) courses, and university courses in the area of transferable skills.
Additional ECTS (to the 12 or 18 ECTS, respectively) are not mandatory but can be obtained from Life Science Zurich Graduate School (LSZGS) courses, and PSC and other university courses in the area of transferable skills.
For your curriculum choose courses from the table below. The table is taken from PhD Program Plant Sciences guidelines (PDF, 309 KB):

Participation in other courses (national/international) needs prior agreement of your PhD supervisor.
All ECTS acquired outside of ETHZ, UZH or UNIBAS and associated PhD Programs need a confirmed accreditation through the PSC office: fill the form in the submenu Procedures → Accreditation of external courses.
PSC offers courses in collaboration with Life Science Zurich Graduate School, ETHZ, UZH and UNIBAS. Students have to make sure to follow accreditation procedures for all other courses.
The PhD program in Plant Sciences is offering the course Ethics and Scientific Integrity for Doctoral Students (D-USYS) in spring term, however all research integrity courses hosted by your department are also accepted.
