Everything important

Acceptance as a doctoral candidate

  • Compulsory matriculation for doctoral candidates

    All doctoral students who were accepted by the doctoral committee after March 30, 2018, are required to enroll. Please read this information sheet carefully (information only in german).

    Full-time employees at the university can apply to be exempted from the requirement to matriculate. To enroll, please contact the university's study office.

  • Doctoral candidates with a foreign university degree

    In the case of candidates with a foreign university degree, the application for acceptance as a doctoral candidate can only be accepted if the equivalence of their degree or the university itself has been determined.  To do this, in addition to the application for acceptance as a doctoral candidate, you must submit the following to the doctoral office:

    • Original or certified certificates (for non-EU degrees: notarized copies)
    • a detailed list of the examination results (e.g. transcript of records) in the original language as well as in a German or English translation
    • CV with course of study

    An equivalency check can take up to 3 months in individual cases. It is therefore recommended to apply for acceptance as a doctoral candidate as early as possible. In accordance with the doctoral regulations, the doctoral committee can determine supplementary work if necessary.

    Only after acceptance as a doctoral candidate the enrollment by the study administration office may happen for a maximum of 5 years.

  • Application form
