PhD Teaching

The annual recording of teaching hours is done per group.

Additionally, every PhD student needs to record their hours in their personal confirmation sheet. Download the template here: Download confirmation sheet (XLSX, 10 KB). We recommend doing so as soon as you have completed a teaching unit. This document must be signed by your professor (and supervisor) and submitted before the doctoral exam.

The courses that count as teaching during 2025 can be found here: geschützte Seite teaching activities.

All PhDs starting January 1st, 2021 must take part in a didactic course (mandatory participation): https://ethz.ch/de/die-eth-zuerich/lehre/lehrentwicklung/didaktische-weiterbildung/student-teaching-assistants/ready -set-go.html

This didactic course is the D-CHAB minimum requirement and takes about 6 hours. Participation will be credited to the total teaching hours with 6 hours (credit only for this course!). The aim is for all new PhDs to complete this course as early as possible so that the course confirmation is available to the person responsible for the internship before the start of the first internship. It is recommended that all PhDs who started before January 1st, 2021 also complete this course.

New doctoral students with entry date as of 01-Jan-2022 will need to use a new template for the research plan ("Doktoratsplan") and for the qualifying colloquium ("Eignungskolloquium"). The thesis defense consists of 3 parts and more details can be find at the D-CHAB site.
