Yes, all doctoral students must provide evidence of participation in a course on good scientific practice.

However, for doctoral students who are a member of the department's graduate school, proof of active participation in the graduate’s school program is sufficient. This is confirmed by the graduate school coordinator by signing the ‘application for admission to the doctoral examinations’. The signature is sufficient and no additional proof is required.

All doctoral candidates who are members of a graduate school must prove active participation in the graduate program when submitting the application for admission to the doctoral examinations. Active participation is confirmed by signature of the graduate school coordinator on the application for admission to the doctoral examinations. No additional certification is required. This is independent of whether admission was granted according to the doctoral regulations of 2006 or 2020.

When signing your work contract AND when registering as a PhD student, you should have received documents, each with a PIN, to install a University email address. We would like to inform you today, that it is recommendable to activate BOTH these University email addresses.

The reason is that both email addresses are listed for different mailing lists with important information that you should not miss. Apart from those mailing lists, you may also be directly contacted by the Personnel Department or by the Student Registration Office/ International Office via these email addresses.

Finally, you can log in to KLIPS with both your student and your employee email address and get access to two different accounts with different functions! So e.g. if you need a student certificate, you would have to use the student email address and password to enter your student account in KLIPS.

So please install and check both University email addresses! There is the option to forward emails from these accounts to other ones, so that you only have to check one of them, if that is helpful for you.
