Legal basis
Various features of doctorates are based on legal documents such as the ones listed below (some only available in German).
Doctoral students will achieve their doctoral degree (Dr. sc. ETH Zürich) from ETH Zurich. Therefore, also for doctoral students in one of the programs of the Life Science Zurich Graduate School the "ETH Ordinance on Doctoral Studies" as well as the "D-BIOL Detailed Regulations for Individual Doctoral Studies" will always outweigh the graduate school rules.
