Forms & Regulations

Due to the new ordinance on the doctorate at ETH (which came into force on January 01, 2022) there are now two ways how your doctoral studies and the courses attended are documented:

 

Doctoral students of I-Math (UZH) and doctoral students of D-Math (ETH) who are doing their doctoral studies according to the OLD ordinance on the doctorate: documentation via the course list.

 

Doctoral students of D-Math (ETH) who are doing their doctoral studies according to the NEW ordinance on the doctorate: documentation based on the courses you have registered for via myStudies (transcript).

 

Course list

The course list for doctoral students is a form where you should list the courses you have successfully completed during your doctoral studies with the credit units you have earned for each of them. For every course that you have attended the instructor has to sign your course list, confirming in this way that you have attended/passed the course. The complete course list has to be signed by your advisor before you may register for your doctoral examination.

It is advised to fill in the course list on an ongoing basis. Course instructors, in particular visiting faculty, might not be around at a later time.
