Procedural principles

Application for admission as a doctoral candidate

Applications for admission as a doctoral candidate (Section 6 of the General Doctoral Regulations and Section 5 of the Faculty Doctoral Regulations) along with the required documents (Section 5 of the General Doctoral Regulations and Section 4 of the Faculty Doctoral Regulations – for certificates, originals or certified copies are required) should be addressed to the chairperson of the Doctoral Committee – currently Professor Rudolf K. Weigand – via the dean’s office.

Decision on the acceptance

The Doctoral Committee decides whether to accept applications during its regular meetings, which are usually held in the first two weeks of the lecture period of each semester. Additional meetings may be scheduled in urgent cases.

Applications to start the doctoral procedure

Applications to start the doctoral procedure should also be addressed to the chair of the Doctoral Committee via the dean’s office. The chairperson initiates the procedure once all of the required documents (Section 7 of the General Doctoral Regulations and Section 5 of the Faculty Doctoral Regulations) have been submitted and it has been confirmed that all of the requirements have been met.

Questions regarding admission and the procedure itself

Questions regarding admission and the procedure itself can be addressed to the chairperson directly (by e-mail or in person during office hours).

Oral examination

Oral examinations according to Section 11 of the General Doctoral Regulations are always presided over by a member of the Doctoral Committee.
