After the Doctoral Examination

Approval of the thesis by the first Department Conference after the doctoral examination

Deposit copies must be submitted to the doctoral administration office (HG FO 23.2) within 3 months after the department conference:

• Two bound copies of your thesis. One copy must be signed by the supervisor on the front page. The candidate must provide both the examiner and co-examiner(s) with a bound copy.
• Doctoral students are obliged to upload the corresponding electronic file of the approved doctoral thesis onto ETH Library’s institutional repository, i.e. publishing it via the Research Collection.
  If an electronic publication is not possible for copyright or patent-related reasons or due to ongoing applications at research funding institutions, the doctoral student can temporarily be released from the electronic publication obligation. More information: ETH Library
  

Important notes

• The doctoral degree (Dr. sc. ETH Zurich) may be officially used only after confirmation of the graduation by the rector of ETH after the delivery of the required copies.
• The tuition fee is CHF 1500 and is charged only after enrolling for the doctoral examination (see Financial Matters).

If wished, printing of the thesis can be done through ETH Zurich Print + Publish.
