Submission

If you have finished the PhD thesis and your supervisor has given his/her consent to its submission, three identical copies of the PhD thesis as well as three additional data carriers, each with identical content, will be handed in to the PhD office together with the submission form(219.0 KB) (Information on data collection(51.6 KB, 2 pages)).

Please fill in the form with the names of the desired reviewers of the PhD thesis and examiners for the oral examination. According to § 12 (2), this will take the form of a disputatio.

It is absolutely necessary to contact the desired examiners in advance, to ask for their agreement to take the examination and to prove this by signing the form. For the oral examination, it is necessary that either the first further examiner (usually the second reviewer of the PhD thesis) or the second further examiner comes from a different subject group (Annex 1 PromO) than your supervisor.
