This information does not replace the regulation for Doctoral examinations (Promotionsordnung 2014 mit 1. Änderung) but should serve as a guideline for doctoral candidates and for all persons involved in the examination procedure. When in doubt, the most recent version of the „Promotionsordnung“ should be consulted.
The communication with the doctoral office must be performed electronically using following link. An overview of the required information and documents is given below. Please note doctoral students who started before January 2014 (Promotionsordnung 2007) are obligated to provide their documents in paper copies as follows.
Those aspiring doctoral candidate status need to submit an application including following documents:
All documents have to be submitted at least four business days prior to the meeting of the doctoral commission in order to be considered. Since originals of the aforementioned records and certificates need to be presented as well, a personal contact is required. An appointment is obligatory (promotionsausschuss.bci@tu-dortmund.de).
In accordance to the “Landeshochschulgesetz HG NRW 2014 §67(5)” and the “Promotionsordnung 2014 §5(1)” students working on their doctoral thesis are obligated to join the doctoral program by an enrollment with the faculty.
The doctoral candidate status is restricted to four years but it can be extended on request (form).
Upon finishing the thesis the doctoral candidate has to submit several documents. In order to be considered by the doctoral commission the documents have to be submitted at least four business days prior to the meeting. An appointment is obligatory (promotionsausschuss.bci@tu-dortmund.de).
*unsigned versions of the paper copies have to be attached in the appendix of each thesis
Don't forget to send a signed declaration to the doctoral office by email, confirming that you agree to the conditions of your oral exam as mentioned below! Without this declaration the exam cannot take place during the corona situation.
After complete submission of the documents to the doctoral office the doctoral commission reviews all documents and appoints an examination board. The doctoral commission is not obligated to follow the suggestions of the candidate. The doctoral commission requests the supervisor to schedule the oral examination with the candidate as well as the members of the examination board. Afterwards all participants of the examination are invited by the doctoral office and the reports are requested from the referees. The student has the opportunity to read the reviewer reports three to five business days prior to the examination in the doctoral office. Copies, records and personal notes are not allowed and an appointment is obligatory (promotionsausschuss.bci@tu-dortmund.de).
The head of the examination board informs the student about the grades right after the examination, a confirmation letter is sent from the doctoral office to the student afterwards.
Due to the Corona situation the following procedure has been defined by the faculty of BCI for oral doctoral examinations:
If you agree to this procedure, you have to send an informal letter, indicating that you wish to do your exam in accordance with these regulations when submitting your thesis!
The student is obligated to implement the examination board's comments in the final version of the thesis within one year (date of oral examination). Furthermore the title page has to be changed and the administrative appendix (section "Submission of the Doctoral Thesis" items marked with *) has to be removed from the thesis.
There are multiple different modes for publication of the final thesis in the “Promotionsordnung §18(3)”, three of which are common:
For finalization, the required amount of copies of the thesis as well as the below-mentioned documents have to be submitted at the doctoral office.
The final version of the thesis is transferred to the members of the examination board by the doctoral office for cross checking. Afterwards 4 copies of the dissertation are submitted to the library by the doctoral office (not by the doctoral student).
The issuing of the final certificate usually takes three months and the certificate will be sent by registered mail from the dean’s office.
