This information is relevant to doctoral students who are completing their doctorate under the new Ordinance on Doctoral Studies at ETH Zurich of 23 November 2021, entered into force on 1 January 2022.
Doctoral students under the new doctoral ordinance complete a request to record external study achievements as follows in their transcript:
- from other institutions outside ETH and UZH
- for the participation in summer schools,
- conferences or
- seminars.
The request is submitted directly in myStudies, after which it is transferred to the D-BSSE Doctoral Administration for review. After approval, the study achievements are listed in the doctoral student’s transcript and will appear in their myStudies account.

Request to transfer approved study achievements from other institutions
The 12 ECTS credits have to be confirmed before you register for the doctoral examination. We recommend to do that at least six months before your doctoral examination takes place.
Once you have passed all necessary performance assessments, and when you will not take further performance assessments, please submit the request for the completion of the doctoral studies via myStudies.
If all ECTS requirements are fulfilled, you will receive a confirmation by the D-BSSE Doctoral Administration.
The request must be submitted and confirmed before you register for the doctoral examination.
