After the dissertation has been accepted at a School Council meeting, you will receive an e-mail from us with all the necessary information to arrange an examination date with your examination committee. You must inform us of the examination date and location at least 10 days before the examination. Otherwise, the exam cannot take place.

According to the doctoral regulations, each doctoral candidate is examined orally for a total of approximately one hour. The examination is a specialist examination on the subject area of the doctorate. You should discuss with your examination committee in advance whether you should give a lecture or a presentation.

The German version of the Regulations for the Award of Doctoral Degree, the GCMH Regulations and the Supervision Agreement are legally binding and can be found here.
