Important Note (new doctoral degree regulations):

Since 01.06.2016 *new* Doctoral Degree Regulations (PromO, english translation) of the Albert-Ludwigs-University for the faculty of Mathematics and Physics are in effect. According to the temporary arrangements (Übergangsbestimmungen §28 PromO) the following rules apply:

  • If the doctoral examination procedure (Promotionsverfahren) has been opened before the new doctoral degree regulations have taken effect (=delivery of dissertation until 31.05.2016) or the official procedure has already been requested, the *old* regulations apply (Promotionsordnung für die Fakultät für Mathematik und Physik i.d.F. vom 23.11.2012)
     
  • Doctoral students, who have not handed in an application for the doctoral examination procedure (Promotionsverfahren) until 01.06.2016, may request application of the *new* doctoral regulations:
    Antrag auf Eröffnung des Promotionsverfahrens nach der neuen PromO (pdf)

    If this request is not filed, the doctoral examination procedure will be conducted according to the old regulations!
