Mailing Lists
Mailing List for external doctoral students
If you are doing an external doctorate, i.e. financed by a scholarship or have a position in industry, you should subscribe to our mailing list right at the beginning. This is the only way to ensure that you do not miss any information that the Dean's Office regarding sends out about courses, award announcements etc.
You can subscribe to the mailing list even if you have not yet been accepted as a doctoral student at the faculty. Academic staff members of the faculty will be contacted via the Mittelbau mailing list and therefore do not need to be included in the mailing list for external doctoral students (otherwise they will receive e-mails twice).
Mailing List VWL-Seminar
All doctoral candidates and postdocs of Economics (internal + external) should subscribe to the mailing list VWL-Seminar. Via the mailing list you will regularly receive information about dates in the Brown Bag Seminars and Colloquium as well as about events outside the TU Dresden.
Guides for Doctoral Studies
The Guide for Doctoral Studies is an orientation guide written by (former) doctoral students for current doctoral students. It is primarily intended to support you in your search for relevant information.

Application for Doctoral Studies
You should take care of your acceptance as a doctoral student at the faculty as early as possible. All formal requirements are regulated by the doctoral regulations (PromO 2018).
Registration at the Graduate Academy
If you are accepted as a doctoral student at the faculty, you can register as a member of the Graduate Academy. The Graduate Academy is the central contact and service point for all questions concerning the doctoral and postdoc phase. It provides many offers and options for funding, qualification and advice.
Registration at the Current Research Information System
The Current Research Information System (FIS) bundles all key figures on research achievements and activities of scientists at TU Dresden and makes them visible to the outside world.
As a doctoral student or postdoc, you also automatically receive access to the FIS and should also regularly post new publications etc. there and update your own research data.
