A digital submission is NO longer possible. Therefore, please submit all documents in the original and in the number required on the request to open the examination process.

When not absolutely necessary we advise you to move the date of your disputation. Please contact the chairperson of your examining committee.

In very urgent cases when the date of the disputation cannot be changed and the participants of the examining committee cannot take part in person, the participants of the examining committee can be replaced (by the chairperson of your examining committee) as a first action.

In principle, according to § 14 paragraph 1 of the doctoral program regulations, a video conference for individual members of the examining committee can already be admitted for the disputation upon application by the main supervisor. The disputant is allowed to take part by video conference in absolutely exceptional cases. Furthermore a video conference can be requested by the chairperson of your examining committee.
