Welcome Guides
Two guides cover most of what you need in your first weeks: the AVETH survival guide for everything ETH-wide, and VMI's own welcome brochure for everything specific to the department.
Academic Life
Doctoral students are expected to assist with teaching — typically around one course per semester, tracked with a point-based system in the HAT tool.
At the end of your first year you present your doctoral plan at the aptitude colloquium, a key milestone of your doctorate at D-INFK.
Practical Information

Finding Help
Whether a question is personal, academic, or technical, there is a place to turn to — and early is always better than late.
