Architektur und Raumplanung
| Wissensvermittlung, Didaktik und Präsentation (transfer of knowledge, didactics and presentation skills) | 2–4 ECTS |
| Personal Soft Skills | 2–4 ECTS |
| Wissenschaftstheorie und Methodik (philosphy and methods of science) | 2–4 ECTS |
| Thematische Wissenschaftliche Vertiefung (topic related curricular part) | 6–12 ECTS |
Privatissima and seminars for doctoral candidates may together account for 6 ECTS credits at most.

Since 2018 there is a new Guideline for the doctoral program (german).
Bauingenieurwesen/Civil Engineering
Courses, with 18 ECTS in total, have to be taken from the curriculum for doctoral and master studies that are related to the topic of the dissertation. The courses have to be agreed on with the supervisor and approved by the dean of studies. It is also allowed to complete suitable courses that are held at another university (after approval).
Summer Schools and other ECTS-courses held by universities or conferences must contain a Certificate (german: Zeugniss) to be considered (german: angerechnet), as well the the dean of study affairs and the supervisor must agree.

Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik
Courses with significant overlap to courses of the previous master or bachelor studies can be problematic. Apart from that, various master and/or bachelor courses are usually fine. While a strong connection to one's PhD topic is definitely reasonable, it is not a must. The "Privatissimum für DissertantInnen" (4 ECTS) and the "DissertantInnensminar" (2 ECTS) are usually included in the curricular part.

Technische Mathematik
| VO, VU | min. 9 ECTS |
| UE, PR | max. 6 ECTS |
| SE, PV | max. 6 ECTS |
Geodäsie und Geoinformation
| VO | min. 5 ECTS |
| PR, UE, VU | max. 10 ECTS |
| PV, SE | max. 6 ECTS |
Technische Physik
| VO, VU | |
| SE | 2 – 4 ECTS |
| PV + Workshop | bis zu 5 ECTS |
| PR, LU, UE, PA | maximal 6 ECTS |
Technische Chemie
max. 6 ECTS SE, PV; laboratory excercises only in special cases; excercise courses are normally not accepted. The dean of studies decided that the ECTS points are 1.5 times the amount of hours on the course certificate in the case of VO and VU and exactly the amount of hours in all other cases, regardless of the ECTS points mentioned on the course certificate.
Verfahrenstechnik
| VO, VU | min. 9 ECTS |
| SE, UE, RU, LU, PA, KU | max. 6 ECTS |
| PV | max. 2 ECTS |
| Soft Skill LVAen | max. 4 ECTS |
| Summer Schools* | max. 6 ECTS |
Summer Schools can only be accepted if they cover a relevant scientific specialisation. To proof this, a written report and a confirmation of the advisor is necessary.

Informatik und Wirtschaftsinformatik
max. 6 ECTS SE, PV; no PR or UE. The dean of studies decided that the ECTS points on the course certificates are relevant. In case of no ECTS points mentioned on the course certificate, they are calculated by multiplying the hours by a factor of 1.5.
