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.
