Content might be missing or being (slightly) outdated. .. index:: qualification program The core of your doctoral studies is your research work in collaboration with your group and other research partners. Additionally, the Graduate Center of Natural Sciences offers a wide range of opportunities for subject-related and interdisciplinary qualification. There are two sections on - :ref:`mandatory-qualification` - :ref:`optional-qualification` :ref:`Funding for internationalization measures ` are part of the :ref:`optional qualification program ` Good scientific practice ================================ The rules of good scientific practice are part of the supervision agreement. They are taught by the supervisors. In addition the Faculty Graduate Center Physics regularly offers workshops and other courses on this topic. See especially - `Code of Conduct for Safeguarding Good Academic Practice and Procedures in Cases of Academic Misconduct `_ of TUM (German with English translation) - `Good scientific practice for scientific qualification reports and theses in physics `_, Recommendations of the Conference of Physics Faculties of 18th of May 2016 - `TUM Citation Guide `_ of the university library - `Safeguarding Good Scientific Practice `_, memorandum of DFG (German and English) Reporting and confirmation of the qualification program ============================================================== .. note:: The DSSNAT database system has entered the test phase for the qualification program. All members of the Graduate Center of Natural Sciences enter their qualification elements into the DSSNAT database: https://app.srv.nat.tum.de/phd/qualificationProgram Please report any problems or suggestions for improvements to promotion@nat.tum.de! Please include a screenshot. If you plan to **submit your thesis within the next one or two weeks**, please feel free to use the old systems for :ref:`quali-physics` or :ref:`quali-chemistry`. However, if you then submit your thesis later, you might have to reenter or proofread your entries at the DSSNAT system. No direct entries in DocGS! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please do not enter any qualification elements in DocGS! In due course, we will transfer the data from the DSSNAT database to DocGS. Please note that we only accept Leistungsanträge (reports on qualification elements) that do meet the quality criteria of the TUM School of Natural Sciences and are entered in DSSNAT! - https://app.srv.nat.tum.de/phd/qualificationProgram Please ensure that your entries are free of errors before printing. We will transfer your data to the final certificate in precisely the same way. (If you correct some errors, please print and submit the updated PDF!) Shortly before your doctoral thesis is to be submitted, please print out the PDF confirmation, sign it, and hand it in at the Graduate Center NAT. **Your supervisor has to confirm the elements of your qualification program** (as well as the Graduate Center NAT). Please ensure your supervisor has all the required receipts and proofs readily available when the report is signed. .. index:: former Graduate Center Physics .. index:: former Physics Department .. _quali-physics: Physics ----------------- **For members of the former Graduate Center Physics**, you may enter your qualification elements here: https://www.ph.tum.de/academics/phd/gs/member/ The other information on the related pages of the former Physics Department is also essentially correct. .. index:: former Graduate Center Chemistry .. index:: former Department of Chemistry .. _quali-chemistry: Chemistry ----------------- **For members of the former Graduate Center Chemistry**, the regulations of the former Department of Chemistry / GC Chemistry currently still apply.
