Doctorate (new)
First of all, please read the doctoral regulations of 15.11.2016 carefully
1. admission to the doctorate
Before starting to work on the dissertation (i.e. as soon as you have received a confirmation of supervision), every doctoral candidate must submit an application for admission to doctoral studies to the Dean's Office of the Faculty. For your convenience, we have compiled the following documents:
- List of documents to be submitted (To-Do list)
- Application for admission
- Supervision agreement
- Proposal for doctoral studies (doctoral study plan)
- Declaration of doctoral studies
2. matriculation
According to § 9 Abs. 2 Satz 3 NHG, doctoral students must enroll as doctoral students. Enrollment takes place at the Study Center(Student Secretariat). Information on the semester fee (student body fee + student union fee + administrative fee) can be found at: http://www.studienzentrum.tu-clausthal.de/das-studienzentrum/studentensekretariat/semesterbeitrag/.
3. the application for the opening of the doctoral procedure
In due course (after completion of the dissertation), in consultation with the supervisor, the dissertation together with further documents to be taken from the list, is to be submitted to the faculty. The following documents serve as a guide:
- List of documents to be submitted (To-Do-List)
- Opening application
- Affidavit (see also "Rules for ensuring good scientific practice and procedures in cases of suspected scientific misconduct")
- Statistical form
- Short curriculumvitae or curriculum vitae (by e-mail !)
The Faculty Council decides on the opening of the doctoral procedure at the next meeting(meeting dates) or by circulation.
4. publication of the dissertation (after the oral examination)
Before the publication, which has to be done within one year (deadline starts with the day of the oral examination), you first have to apply for the printing permission. This must be completed and signed by you and countersigned by your supervisor. The application must be submitted to the Dean's Office of the Faculty in order to obtain the necessary permission from the Dean for final publication.
