Submission of your Thesis

Once you have completed all requirements within the structured doctoral program for the Dr. med., you can submit your thesis.

Please first enter the final title of your dissertation in the online platform under "Antrag auf Zulassung zur Promotion (Dr. med.)" and press save. You can now download all pre-filled forms required for submission from the Campus Portal, sign them and then upload them again.

Upon completion of your application using the online platform, please submit all original required documents to the Doctoral Office, either via mail (Promotionsbüro, Dekanat der Medizinischen Fakultät, Bavariaring 19, 80336 Munich) or drop of at the dean's office mailbox.

The mailbox is located to the right of the gate at the entrance of the garden (see photo). Please divide your documents into several envelopes if one envelope is too bulky for a regular mailbox opening.

If you have any questions, please check our FAQs first. If you do not find answers to your questions there, please contact our colleagues in the doctoral office during telephone consultation hours.
