Process to obtain the Doctoral Degree

The essential steps for obtaining the doctorate are listed below. However, as a first overview we recommend to read the doctoral regulations and to have a look at the Q&A directory. This offers you helpful information on enrolment, leave of absence and other topics that may be relevant to you.

Step 1: Application for Qualification Phase

Supervision Agreement

For admission to the qualification phase, a supervision agreement is mandatory and must be approved by the doctoral committee.

After Admission to the Qualification Phase

After admission to the qualification phase, enrollment as a doctoral student takes place. According to § 67 para. 5 HG, doctoral students with a completed university degree are also required to enroll in a doctoral program.

For all doctorate candidates whose supervision agreement was submitted to the doctoral office after October 09, 2017, attendance of the course "Wissenschaftliches Arbeiten" is mandatory during the qualification phase.

Please note that we can only accept officially certified copies of the documents. (e.g. officially certified copy of the 3rd state examination for the issuance of the doctorate confirmation).


Step 2: Choice of the Dissertation Form

 Here you will find all the templates, sample pages and information on formal criteria necessary for writing the dissertation. You have the choice between two different dissertation forms, which are explained in more detail below.

Option 1: Inaugural Dissertation

In this case, the dissertation is written as a monograph. Below you will find instructions and templates for writing an inaugural dissertation.

Option 2: Cumulative Dissertation

In contrast to the inaugural dissertation, this dissertation form briefly describes previously published work in light of the current state of knowledge. Instructions and templates for the preparation of a cumulative dissertation can be found below.


Step 3: Application for the Admission to the Examination / Audit Phase

After you have completed the dissertation and submitted all documents to the Dean's Office, the examination phase will be opened. As soon as all reviewer feedbacks are available, the dissertation is submitted to the doctoral committee. After approval of the dissertation by the doctoral committee, the oral examination can be arranged.

You will receive the final written permission after the examination documents have been received. When all the required documents have been received by the doctoral office, you will be allowed to receive your certificate at the next doctoral graduation ceremony.
