We are happy that you plan to do your doctorate at the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering. On this web page, you will find all important information for this endeavour.
The requirements of the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering for doctorate degree candidates are stated in the §6 of the doctorate regulations. The minimum requirement for admission is a good to very good university degree (usually a master’s degree including a research oriented master’s thesis) which is equivalent to a German academic degree that qualifies to start a doctorate. You also need a supervisor (professor at Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering ) who agrees to take the responsibility for the academic supervision of your doctorate.
For all formal actions involved with doctorate procedures (e.g., application for acceptance), please use the online system Promovendus. You can access Promovendus at any time.
You will also need a valid ZIH user account to log in to Promovendus. Enrolled students as well as employees of TU Dresden automatically receive a ZIH login. If you do not have a ZIH login yet, you can file an application for a guest login, which your supervisor has to sign. Please contact the Service Desk in case of any questions or problems with the ZIH user account.
The application for acceptance as a doctoral candidate can be filed with the Faculty’s doctoral board according to §8 of the doctorate regulations. The doctoral board will verify whether all admission requirements are met. With acceptance as a doctoral candidate, you express the intention to complete your doctorate at the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering within 6 years.
If you should wish to carry out the doctoral studies according to §3 (3) of the doctorate regulations, the confirmation of acceptance as a doctoral candidate includes the request to enrol to the doctoral studies in Electrical Engineering (cf. enrolment). Enrolment to the doctoral studies allows you to replace the Rigorosum by an oral examination according to §7 of the academic study regulations for the doctoral studies in Electrical Engineering.

The office is closed from 8 until 13 March 2018.
Please note that, together with the application for acceptance as a doctoral candidate, you will need to hand in the following documents:
certified copies and, if applicable, translations in German or English of the graduation certificates and of the overview of subjects and grades of the study degree relevant for admission (for degrees awarded by TU Dresden, a simple copy is sufficient),
certified copies and, if applicable, translations in German or English of all other study graduation certificates
simple copy of the university entrance qualification certificate (e.g., A-levels),
original of the supervision agreement with the responsible professor at the Faculty (the form is available at the Graduate Academy),
confirmation of removal from the register of students (ex-matriculation) in case of previous enrolment at a German university,
curriculum vitae (C.V.) including scientific career, publications and signature, and
confirmation (receipt) of application for a clearance certificate.
For the acceptance as a doctoral candidate, you need to hand in certified copies and, if applicable, certified translations of your graduation certificates and subject and grades overview. You can find further information on certified copies of certificates not issued by TU Dresden on the web page of the office of certified documentation of TU Dresden.
If you completed one of your studies outside Germany, your documents are sent to the International Office of the TU Dresden to verify the equivalence of your degree. You can use the online database www.anabin.de for a preliminary check of the equivalence of your degree.
You can only enrol as doctorate student if the Faculty’s doctoral board has accepted you as doctoral candidate and put you on the doctoral list of the Faculty. You can find further information on the web pages of the admission office.
If you intend to replace the Rigorosum by an oral examination according to §11 (5) of the doctorate regulations, enrolment to the doctorate studies in Electrical Engineering is mandatory. The standard period of study is 6 semesters and you should enrol in good time after acceptance as a doctoral candidate. A confirmation of enrolment has to be handed in to the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Otherwise, enrolment is voluntary. The regulations for enrolment can be found in the enrolment regulations (in German only). To apply for enrolment, please use the web pages of the admission office.
Acceptance as a doctoral candidate can be subject to additional requirements; e.g. the taking additional exams and passing with a mandatory minimum grade. The doctoral board will define these requirements and inform the doctoral candidate together with the confirmation of acceptance. The additional requirements must be fulfilled within two years after acceptance as a doctoral candidate (§7 of the doctorate regulations).
The application for opening of the doctorate proceedings must be submitted through Promovendus, which will generate an application document that you must hand in at the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering through
Please note that, together with the application for the opening of the doctorate proceedings, you will need to hand in the following documents (§9 of the doctorate regulations):
four hard-cover copies of the dissertation,
dissertation on CD,
short version (extended abstract; approx. 2–3 pages) as a PDF-document and 30 printed copies
curriculum vitae (C.V.) including scientific career and signature,
original confirmation of acceptance as doctoral candidate at the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering and certified certificate stating the fulfilment of additional requirements,
The dissertation as well as the defense of the dissertation and the Rigorosum/oral examinationcan be in German or – upon request – in English. You can find all further details in the doctorate regulations (in German only).
After acceptance of the doctoral thesis (dissertation), the doctoral candidate needs to prove deep knowledge in the scientific field of the dissertation during a non-public, scientific oral examination (Rigorosum). Directly after the Rigorosum, the public defense will take place. By enrolling to the doctoral studies, the Rigorosum can be replaced by an oral examination according to §7 of the academic study regulations for the doctoral studies in Electrical Engineering. If such oral examination shall replace the Rigorosum or if the Rigorosum shall be carried out directly before the defense has to be decided when applying for the opening of the doctorate proceedings at the latest.
After having successfully completed the doctorate proceedings, the doctoral candidate is obliged to make the dissertation available for the general scientific public. Therefore, the dissertation that has to be published within one year after the date of the final oral exam (in general, the defense). If the doctoral committee has imposed additional conditions to the dissertation, the a revised version of the dissertation must be reviewed and acknowledged by the responsible professor. The corresponding confirmation must be submitted to the doctoral office.
The Saxon State Library (Sächsischen Landesbibliothek - Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden; SLUB) requires:
four bound copies (not paper-back) of the edition accepted by the doctoral committee (must be handed over to SLUB office free of charge), as well as

Please pay attention to SLUB's general guidlines for dissertations as well as the guidelines for submission.
For application of acceptance as a doctoral candidate as well as the opening of the doctorate procedures, you will need a confirmation (receipt) of application for a clearance certificate (‘Führungszeugnis’) to be sent to the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering in compliance with §30 (5) BZRG. The clearance certificate is valid for about 3 months and can be requested on the day the application for acceptance as a doctorate candidate or opening of the doctorate proceedings is submitted. When requesting this certificate (e.g., at the records department, Theaterstr. 11, 01067 Dresden), the following recipient should be given:
You can register for the alumni network for former junior researchers in Promovendus. If you do not have a ZIH login, you can also use the alumni sheet. Registration is voluntary.
We would also like to draw your attention to the general alumni network of TU Dresden.
