Doctoral Thesis ("Dissertation")
=========================================================================
Having completed your research and the basic qualification program the
doctoral examination process starts by submitting your doctoral thesis
(see also `FAQ about monograph vs.
"cumulative" `__). The thesis has to be
submitted to the examinations office of TUM. You need to apply for this
by DocGS. You can find a list of the required documents at the `TUM
Graduate School’s
website `__.
In our department there is no restriction on the submission date – you
are not bound by the department council’s schedule.
Remark on the dates of handing in and the final exam
======================================================================
At Physics Department your thesis submission date is not bound by the
meeting dates of the council. But keep the following in mind:
Qualification program of TUM GS
As member of the Faculty Graduate Center Physics you need to provide
the
`report on the qualification program `_
in advance. We send this to
TUM GS administration for your qualification elements to be imported
to DocGS – only after this (usually within one wroking day after
handing in the report to us) the section on submitting your thesis
will be active in DocGS!
Members of other (thematic) Graduate Centers need to contact their
graduate center to make sure that the qualification program is fully
documented in DocGS and you may hand in the thesis.
earliest possible exam date
The deadline for the decision of the full-time faculty according to
§12 S. 2 PromO was set to one week by the Dean. The deadline for the
announcement of the oral exam according to §14 (2) PromO is one week.
This results in the fact that the exam date can not be earlier than
two weeks after all written reports from the examiners were received
by the Dean’s Office!
After the examination office examined your documents they will be sent
to the Dean’s Office. Here we start organising the final exam.
