You will find the concrete, formal requirements for admission to a doctorate in §7 of the General Doctoral Regulations of the Technische Universität Darmstadt. The following table provides an overview of the main points:
| Academic degree in a relevant, research-related subject | Requirements for admission to a doctorate |
|---|---|
| Degree at a German university |
The formal requirement is a Master’s, Diploma, or equivalent academic degree in a relevant, research-related subject. The Physics Master course will be used in the assessment. |
| Degree at a university abroad |
The formal requirement is a Master’s, Diploma, or equivalent academic degree in a relevant, research-related subject. The Department's Office will double-check in advance that the degree is equivalent to a degree taken at a German university. The Physics Master course will be usd in the assessment. |
In principle, post-graduates with a degree in another subject than Physics can be accepted as doctoral candidates if this is in the interest of interdisciplinary research and the candidates have the necessary expertise in the area covered by the doctoral thesis.
You are strongly recommended to have your status as a doctoral candidate recognised.
