With our support and guidance, you can devote yourself exclusively to the preparation of your dissertation, we will take care of the rest.
The faculty is English-speaking. The procedure is carried out in English, but the faculty repeatedly points out that it is not important to them how high the level of language skills is. Most doctoral supervisors speak a little German. Since we supervise the procedure very closely, we often take over communication with the doctoral supervisor, which in this case also means that the discussion may be translated.
The doctoral supervisor treats you as an equal partner. He knows that you are doing the process as a part-time job and cannot research to the same depth as full-time students. He will support you positively in completing the work within your time frame and will give you feedback after two weeks at the latest if you email him parts of the dissertation.
We will help you to find a new doctoral supervisor, if the current one retires, is recalled or the relationship does not fit – without you having to work on a new topic.

Do not exceed the table of contents and cover sheet. A total of 5 mandatory and 5 voluntary appointments are provided in the entire procedure.
