Matriculation
Doctoral studies and matriculation
Upon the completion of the doctoral studies, those doctoral candidates that were matriculated (for the entire doctoral studies) in the LSM study programme, an institution of the Faculty of Biology will be awarded 180 ECTS points. For doctoral students, whose supervisors are from the of Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy, and therefore are graduating from outside of the Faculty of Biology, will be awarded 30 ECTS points on their certificate of participation. There are a few exceptions to the above rule, e.g. you started with a 4-year BSc or were awarded GSSP scholarship.
The regular duration of studies within LSM is 6 semesters which could be extended for up to 10 semesters. Doctoral candidates need to be matriculated for their entire duration of studies at the LSM, including the disputation, to be eligible for the 180 ECTS points upon graduation.
