Does the registration in Docfile also represent an acceptance as a doctoral student at the faculty?

No. In order to do a doctorate at the University of Cologne, you must be accepted as a doctoral candidate by a faculty. Acceptance as a doctoral candidate is regulated in the doctoral regulations of the respective faculties. Only with the confirmation of acceptance it is ensured that you meet the requirements for a doctorate at the University of Cologne.

Am I automatically enrolled at the University of Cologne by registering in Docfile?

No. After your faculty has officially accepted you as a doctoral candidate, you can receive a certificate of enrolment for your doctoral studies. For the enrolment for the doctoral studies programme, please contact the student office.
