The Regulations of the faculties of TU Bergakademie Freiberg for the award of doctorates give the doctoral candidates the opportunity to choose which type of doctorate – conventional doctorate or doctorate within the framework of structured doctoral studies – they would like to pursue.

Whereas in a conventional doctorate, doctoral candidates focus mainly on their research on the doctoral topic, they acquire additional qualifications and competencies in the context of structured doctoral studies.

In the Faculties 3, 5 and 6, the Rigorosum which is part of the doctoral requirements can be substituted by these qualifications and other academic achievements upon application.

In addition, the dissertation can be submitted either as a monograph or publication-based (cumulative) . The regulations of the faculties can be found under „Dokumente“ .
