Doctoral and Postdoctoral Theses at the TU Dresden

Publishing doctoral and postdoctoral theses as well as details on required copies are subject to the doctoral/postdoctoral regulations of the faculties of the TU Dresden.

On the web pages of TU Dresden you will find an overview containing the relevant links to webpages and contacts in the Deans´ Offices responsible for doctoral matters within the faculty, and to the Doctoral Degree Regulations of the faculties.

There are different ways to publish a doctoral thesis. We recommend electronic publication via the Qucosa Document and Publication Server, where a PDF version is made freely available on the internet. However, you can also publish your thesis in print or with a publisher. If you have decided on a way of publication, please inform yourself about the specific requirements of your faculty.
