Doctoral Committee

The Doctoral Committee is responsible for overseeing all doctoral procedures at the faculty that were initiated after July 22, 2010. Doctoral candidates who began work on their doctoral degree before this date under the supervision of a professor at the faculty may apply to change to the new doctoral regulations; the Doctoral Committee is then also responsible for their doctoral procedure.
