Earning a doctorate at the Digital Engineering Faculty

The Digital Engineering Faculty offers the academic degrees of Doctor of Science (Dr. rer. nat.) and Doctor of Engineering (Dr.Eng.). These degrees are awarded after completion of a doctoral examination procedure in which the candidate – on the basis of a dissertation and an oral examination (defense) – has demonstrated his or her academic ability in a discipline that is researched and taught at the faculty by university teachers. 

Regulations for Doctoral Degree Studies 

At its founding, the Digital Engineering Faculty adopted the Regulations for Doctoral Degree Studies issued by the Faculty of Science at the University of Potsdam.
