Incomplete supervision agreement
We kindly ask for your understanding that, we can only accept registrations for doctoral projects with a full set of at least thee eledgible members of the thesis advisory committee. All members of the thesis adivsory committee have to sign the supervision agreement. Thus, we can ensure that your doctoral project is in agreement with the examination and study regulations.
Volunteering during your fulltime research
The Faculty of Medicine supports doctoral students who want to help during this crisis.
Doctoral students, who want to volunteer in our clinics, are encouraged to do so. An interruption of the 8-month fulltime research is permitted and does not require a special permit by the office of doctoral affairs. Please try to make up the lost time later.
A short statement by your supervisor confirming the duration of your volunteering work in your logbook is sufficient. The doctoral fellowship by the Medical Faculty is not affected.
Changes regarding your project or TAC due to the Covid-19 pandemic
Because of the restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, changes to your project or the composition of your supervision committee may be necessary. This is not a problem! Please document important changes that affect your project, e.g. milestones, key questions or the members of your thesis advisory committee in a target amendment and have it signed by the members of your thesis advisory committee. Keep the target amendment in your logbook and submit the logbook together with your finished dissertation.
TAC-Meetings
The university is currently advising against any unnecessary meetings!
To limit the number of personal meetings and still enable you to get some feedback about your project, we recommend using video conference systems whenever possible. All TAC-members can sign your TAC-report in circulation.
Scheduled defenses
Individual defenses for candidates in PhD Medical Research, Dr. rer. nat. and Dr. rer. biol. hum.:
If your want to hold your defense despite the current restrictions, try to reduce the number of those who attend personally by holding a video conference instead. In case of any questions, the chairperson of the examination committee can contact the MMRS about alternatives to in-person meetings.
We wish you much success!
