Do I have to hand in an exposé?

 

No, not for the application for admission. The only exceptions are doctoral students applying for a fast-track procedure. However, your first supervisor might want to see an exposé.

 

What happens if I exceed the regular duration of study for PhD research?

 

The duration of study can be prolonged, provided your first supervisor and the relevant Examination Board agree. Please fill out the request for prolongation, ask your supervisor to sign it and hand it in at the Office for Doctoral Affairs.

 

When does my second supervisor need to sign the supervision agreement?

 

One year after admission at the latest.
