Brief web site glossary
On the following page, we have listed the contact information for the Dean’s Offices and staff member(s) responsible for doctoral training in each Faculty as well as other useful links related to doctoral training in the various Faculties.
Wherever possible, we have included links to English language web sites; however, not all University web pages are yet available in English. In many cases, the web pages of the individual institutes within the Faculties or the various professors’ homepages are available in English. Therefore, we have included at the bottom of this page, a brief glossary of words from the Faculty web sites which will hopefully help you to understand the sites better and to navigate to the pages that are of interest to you.
The links below will take you to the German-language doctoral regulations (Promotionsordnung) of the individual faculties. English-language versions of the doctoral regulations are available from the Dean’s offices of some of the faculties. Please be aware that English translations are provided for informational purposes only; only the German-language versions of the doctoral regulations are considered to be legally correct and binding.
Important: Please make sure to ask your doctoral supervisor whether there are additional regulations that govern doctoral training in your discipline (e.g. the doctoral regulations of a graduate school).
