Doctorate

At the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences, the following degrees can be obtained as part of a doctorate procedure:

  • Doctor of Natural Sciences (Dr. rer. nat.)
  • Doctor of Engineering (Dr.-Ing.)

General information on the doctorate (brief overview)

The doctoral procedure consists of two steps. Firstly, you apply for acceptance as a doctoral candidate (admission procedure). Then you begin your research phase, which often lasts several years.

This is followed by the application to open the doctoral procedure (opening procedure) with the submission of the dissertation. You complete the doctoral procedure with the defence and publication of your thesis.

The procedures are based on the current doctorate regulations of the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences, which you can find in the downloads section, along with all templates and documents:
