Welcome!

Welcome to DocGS, the online platform for doctoral candidates at the Technical University of Munich!

DocGS is the central online platform for doctoral candidates at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Here you can register as a doctoral candidate and then apply for entry into the doctoral candidacy list. However, this does not mean that you are immediately a member of the TUM Graduate School after your registration in DocGS. The membership begins only after your documents have been successfully reviewed by your doctoral institution.

DocGS covers the entire doctoral education cycle and accompanies you through your doctoral studies until you graduate. You can register for a kick-off seminar or submit applications for funding of your stay abroad as well as course reimbursements via DocGS. The management of data complies with  the data protection regulations.

Important: DocGS is not an application portal! All necessary information for the application can be found on the TUM-GS website

Please note that adjustments related to the new doctoral regulations are still being implemented in DocGS.


If you have any questions, please contact the TUM-GS office at docgs@gs.tum.de.
