Evaluation and Oral Defence
Evaluation of the submitted thesis
Once you have submitted the application for admission to the final doctoral examination with all required documents, the Doctoral Committee will appoint the required experts and pass the thesis onto them.
Oral defence
Upon completion of the thesis assessment, the doctoral procedure is continued with an oral defence. Time and place of the oral defence are determined by the Doctoral Committee and you will be notified at least 7 days prior to the date by the chairperson of the Doctoral Committee.
The oral defence consists of an unassisted talk (no powerpoint presentations, hand-outs, etc.) on the subject area of the thesis, which is followed by a question period (§12 Paragraph 2, Examination Regulations). You may be grouped together (§6 and §12, Examination Regulations).
