Comment:
When publishing results in professional journals, external doctoral students should also name apart from the affiliation of their research group, also the HSGS or the respective institute of the faculty. Only in this case the ECTS can be counted as internal ECTS. This was ruled on 1.6.2012.
Patents- 2 ECTS
Presentations / Talks in the seminar group – 1 ECTS (only 1 lecture per year can be accepted)
Please specify the exact date of the lecture in the certificate)

(Only qualifications up to max. 6 ECTS can be accepted when the total number of earned ECTS <21.)
The doctoral students can also earn the credit points abroad upon consent of the main supervisor. The rules applied in this case are the same as within the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy. All external courses / academic activities need to be countersigned by respective supervisors.
Upon finishing the doctoral study at least 20 ECTS should be achieved, at least 10 ECTS should have been awarded within Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy (f.e. internal lectures, seminar group talks etc.)
