A milestone on the academic journey
On 4 July 2025, the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science held its graduation ceremony in the "Schloss". All doctoral graduates who successfully completed their doctorate in the past year were invited to attend, along with their families and friends.
During the event, the newly awarded graduates presented highlights from their doctoral studies and shared insights into their research findings, showcasing the broad range of topics covered within the Faculty.
Following the presentations, the official oath ceremony and the presentation of the doctoral certificates were conducted by Vice Dean Prof. Dr. Benedikt Wirth. The musical framework was provided by Maki Iisaka, who created a festive atmosphere with piano pieces by Bach.

We congratulate all graduates on their achievements and wish them all the best for the future!
