Enrollment Requirement for Doctoral Candidate

Students must remain enrolled as long as they use services provided by UZH. Compliance with the enrollment requirement is checked by the faculty when registering for the degree completion.
More detailed information can be found in theRegulations on Admission to Studies at the University of Zurich (VSZ)

If you had a break between completing your degree (i.e., the Federal Exam) and starting your doctoral studies, meaning you were not enrolled during that time, you must enroll online, download the confirmation for doctoral candidates, and have it signed by your doctoral supervisor. You will need this to benefit from the reduced tuition fee for doctoral students.
