Application for opening the doctoral examination procedure
Please note that the doctoral examination procedure will not be opened until all documents have been submitted in full. This also includes the first evaluation report.
The dissertation will only be forwarded to the second evaluator for assessment once the first evaluation report from the supervisory group has been received by the Promotionsbüro (Doctoral office). The first evaluation report should therefore either be brought in a sealed envelope when submitting the dissertation or sent directly to the Doctoral office by the supervisory group.
