In order to
ensure transferability and recognition of qualifications, our PhD candidates
earn credit points according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) for
the individual components of our education program. To obtain the doctoral
degree from the university, PhD candidates need to have completed training
equivalent to a total of 180 ECTS. The central part of the school’s
qualification program is the research project itself that amounts to 50 ECTS
per year (more than 85% of the time). Over three to four years, our PhD
candidates need to fulfill a mixture of mandatory and elective elements of our
educational program that amount to a total of 30 ECTS, to ensure the full study
program of 180 ECTS. Our educational program is intended not to occupy more
than about 5 hours per week over the period of three to four years (less than
15% of time). Before thesis submission, we issue our PhD candidates a
transcript of their curricular achievements that serves as proof of the
additional 30 ECTS to the university to open the process of thesis examination.
