Step by step through your PhD
Here you will find all the important information on how to make it through your doctorate step by step.
Step 1: Finding a Supervisor
If you want to pursue a doctorate at the faculty of Engineering, you initially need to find a supervisor. The first step is therefore to contact one of the professors in the field where you intend to pursue your doctoral degree, in order to find out whether they are interested in your proposal and whether they may be available to provide supervision.
Step 2: Application for Acceptance as a Doctoral Student
Once you have received a confirmation of supervision for your thesis project, you and your supervisor need to conclude a doctoral supervision agreement . Before beginning to work on your dissertation, you should apply for acceptance as a doctoral candidate at the Faculty of Engineering as soon as possible in order to secure your legal status as a doctoral candidate.
The application for admission as a doctoral candidate has to be initially done via the online system Docata . Please note that you need to first activate your UniAccount for Docata.
For any further information regarding the activation of your UniAccount, please refer to this Wiki page. Once your UniAccount is activated, you may log into Docata with it.
After completing your online application for admission as a doctoral student in Docata, you need to print it, sign it, and submit it to the doctoral examination committee of your faculty, together with all other required documents. It is necessary that you submit your application on time, as it must be ensured whether you fulfil the general entry requirements according to the doctoral degree regulations.
After receiving acceptance by the faculty, you must register/ matriculate as a doctoral student by submitting the certificate of acceptance from the Faculty of Engineering and the application form for registration/ matriculation at the Student Registration Office (German Doctoral Candidates) or at the International Admissions and Services (IAS) (international doctoral candidates).
Step 3: Compulsory Enrollment or Registration at the University of Freiburg
Since March 30 2018, doctoral candidates must enroll or register after being accepted as a doctoral candidate by the faculty, according to § 38 Abs. 5 of the Landeshochschulgesetz (LHG). The Service Center Studium is in charge of this. You may find further information here .
Step 4: A Monograph or a Cumulative Thesis?
The dissertation is usually to be written as a monograph. Upon application, the Doctoral Committee may also authorize the submission of several related scientific papers by the doctoral student as a cumulative dissertation.
The application for writing a cumulative dissertation must be submitted before the dissertation is submitted.
The prerequisites for a cumulative dissertation are regulated in § 8 (3) of PromO 2016. In particular, it requires that the papers that form a cumulative dissertation must have originated from a common scientific question and have been published in peer-reviewed, internationally recognized journals or have been accepted for publication. In the case of computer science, the papers must have been published in conference volumes of internationally recognized conferences or have been accepted for publication.
The doctoral committee currently examines if one meets the conditions to write a cumulative dissertation as follows:
Microsystem Technology: if at least three of the papers are published in a journal of this list , the condition is fulfilled.
Inatech / SSE: If at least three of the papers have appeared in a journal of this list , the condition is fulfilled.
Computer science: if at least three of the papers have been published in a conference or journal of category A / A * according to the CORE'18 ranking , the condition is fulfilled.
In all other cases, a closer examination will be made and, if necessary, a statement of opinion from the supervisor will be obtained. The doctoral committee reserves the right to decide differently in individual cases.
We emphasize that the § 8 Abs. 3 of PromO 2016 and the above mentioned procedure only check the minimum standards. The actual quality control of the work is done during the assessment and the defense.
Step 5: Application to Initiate the Doctoral Examination Procedure
As soon as you have finished the thesis, you may submit an application to initiate the doctoral examination procedure in accordance with § 7 of the doctoral degree regulations of the Faculty of Engineering. Please address your application to the PhD-board of the Faculty of Engineering and submit 4 bound hard copies of your thesis and a digital version (in PDF format) together with the documents mentioned on the application form to Ms. Baghi. The PDF file can easily be sent via email as an attachment or a download link.
The corresponding forms can be found in the download section of the website. The dates of the doctoral committee meetings can be found under Dates.
Step 6: Plan of Procedure
- Your case will be discussed in the next meeting of the Ph.D. committee. This meeting will take place on the same day as a meeting of the Faculty Council during the lecture periods, i.e. once a month. During lecture breaks, the dean will coordinate further meetings once a month. The Ph.D. committee will define your Ph.D. examination committee (reviewers, chairperson and further examiners).
You should however submit a proposal of the composition of the examination committee. This proposal should be coordinated beforehand with the prospective members, and ideally by your supervisor.
If the proposal comprises external members (not members of the Faculty of Engineering), your supervisor will be asked to defend the proposal at the Ph.D. committee meeting or to submit a convincing statement in written form. Otherwise, the PhD committee may not be able to take a decision.
The Ph.D. committee examines the proposals and retains the right to define a more suitable examination committee due to professional and regulatory reasons.
- Only after the Ph.D. committee has agreed to your examination committee, the reviewers will be asked to evaluate your thesis. The reviewers then have 2 months to write their reports.
- Once the reports have reached Ms. Baghi, your documents will circulate among the professors of the Faculty of Engineering for 2 weeks, respectively 3 weeks during lecture breaks. Only after the completion of the circulation, the defense can take place.
- You will then be notified that the defense can take place. Please coordinate a date for the defense and inform Ms. Baghi.
Please note:
- In view of the times allocated for the various steps above, if you fix a date for your Ph.D. defense with a prospective examination committee which has not yet been approved by the Ph.D. committee, this will be at your own risk. The PhD committee will not be influenced by seemingly accomplished facts.
- From the point of view of the dean’s secretariat, there is no possibility of any kind to speed up the process, such as decisions regarding the initiations of the examination procedure before the case is officially discussed in the meeting of the PhD committee. In view of its growing duties, the dean’s secretariat is not able to consider special requests.
- Therefore, it is your duty to organize your Ph.D. examination process well in advance subject to these boundary conditions.
Step 7: Thesis Defense
In the defense (oral examination), which can be held in both German or English, the doctoral candidate defends his / her thesis in the presence of the examination committee; he / she should prove his / her scientific qualification. The defense has a duration of approximately 90 minutes; It begins with a 20-minute report from the doctoral student about the thesis (§10 PromO).
The defense is open to members (students and faculty members) of the University. The examination committee will receive the invitation to the defense session, approximately 14 days before the defense.
Immediately following the defence, the doctoral candidate will be informed of the overall grade of his/ her PhD.
Step 8: Publication of the Doctoral Thesis
You are required to publish your thesis within one year after the defense. (§ 13 PromO). After the thesis has been published, the doctoral student will receive two certified copies of the doctoral degree certificate. The originals will be presented at the award ceremony in early January and July.
Please note that the seal of the university may be used on the title page as well- to see a sample title page, please also refer to the website of the university central administration .
The names of the dean and the reviewers, as well as the date of the oral examination as the day of the doctorate are to be indicated on the backside of the title page of the thesis.

Kumulative Dissertation
Definition | kumulative dissertation.
Die kumulative Dissertation (auch Publikationsdissertation oder Sammeldissertation genannt) basiert auf mehreren Publikationen in Fachzeitschriften, die zu einer Dissertationsschrift zusammengefasst werden. Bei der üblichen Doktorarbeit handelt es sich nur um einen einzelnen Text .
In der DACH-Region gibt es keine einheitlichen Ausschlusskriterien für die Qualität der Veröffentlichungen, die eingereicht werden. Generell werden 2 Ansätze verfolgt:

Wie oft werden kumulative dissertationen verfasst.
Nur 22% aller Promovierenden haben sich 2014/2015 für eine kumulative Dissertation entschieden. Davon waren 44% aus dem Bereich der Naturwissenschaften.
Vorteile kumulative Dissertation
Nachteile kumulative dissertation, aufbau einer kumulativen dissertation.
Der Aufbau einer kumulativen Dissertation unterscheidet sich nicht allzu stark von einer Doktorarbeit als Monografie . Beide Dissertationsschriften beinhalten eine Zusammenfassung , Abstract , Einleitung , Problemstellung und Zielsetzung und Diskussion .
Im Gegensatz zur Monographie verfügt die kumulative Dissertation über eine Synopsis (kumulativer Teil der Dissertation), in der alle Veröffentlichungen in den Journals zusammengefasst und in eine logische Reihenfolge gebracht werden (roter Faden).

Allgemeine Hinweise zur weiteren Verwendung
- Beim Veröffentlichen eines wissenschaftlichen Beitrags räumen Autor*innen den Verlagen in der Regel ausschließliche Nutzungsrechte ein. Viele Zeitschriftenverlage gestatten eine Open-Access-Zweitveröffentlichung und die Nachnutzung von Inhalten für weitere Veröffentlichungen durch die Autor*innen selbst. Die Bedingungen der Verlage unterscheiden sich zum Teil stark, u.a. hinsichtlich der Nutzung von publizierten und von unveröffentlichten, eingereichten Beiträgen im Rahmen einer Dissertation.
- Hier aufgeführt werden Angaben aus Standardverträgen bzw. Standardpolicies der Verlage, die frei recherchierbar sind. Für den Fall, dass Sie mit dem Verlag abweichende Vereinbarungen getroffen haben, prüfen Sie bitte die genauen Bestimmungen Ihres Verlagsvertrages.
- Falls der Artikel Open Access und unter einer freien Lizenz (Creative-Commons-Lizenz) beim Verlag erschienen ist, dann ist eine umfangreichere Nachnutzung als die hier genannte möglich. Dies kann neben reinen Open-Access-Zeitschriften auch in Abo-pflichtigen Zeitschriften der Fall sein, falls der Artikel als sogenanntes hybrides Open Access freigekauft wurde oder zu Open Access über einen Publish-and-Read-Vertrag (z.B. DEAL ) berechtigt war.
- Hier aufgeführt werden Informationen, die sich auf die Nutzung für Online-Dissertationen auf dem institutionellen Repositorium beziehen. Wenn Sie Ihre kumulative Dissertation in einem (kommerziellen) Verlag publizieren wollen, klären Sie dies direkt mit den Verlagen.
- Einige (nicht alle) Verlage machen ihre Bedingungen für die Open-Access-Zweitveröffentlichung und die Nachnutzung von Inhalten für weitere Veröffentlichungen abhängig von der Art der Publikation: Zeitschriftenartikel oder Buchkapitel . Diese Übersicht deckt überwiegend Policies für Zeitschriften ab; Policies für Buchkapitel wurden für einige Verlage ergänzt. Bitte überprüfen Sie sorgfältig, ob die angeführte Policy auf Ihre Art von Beitrag anwendbar ist.
- Allgemein gilt : Sie müssen die Quelle der Erstveröffentlichung korrekt und vollständig angeben und mithilfe der DOI auf die Verlagsversion verlinken . Darüber hinaus beachten Sie bitte ggf. die besonderen Auflagen der Verlage ( "Special requirements" ).
- Prinzipiell ist die Vergabe einer Open-Access-konformen freien Lizenz (v.a. Creative Commons Namensnennung, CC BY) zu begrüßen. Für kumulative Dissertationen wird die Vergabe einer freien Lizenz im Allgemeinen nicht empfohlen, wenn bereits exklusive Rechte an Verlage abgetreten wurden.
- Unten aufgeführt sind allgemeine Hinweise. Um eine andere Version nutzen zu können, eine Verkürzung der Embargofrist zu verhandeln o.Ä., müssen Sie die Genehmigung direkt beim Verlag einholen. Die meisten Verlage arbeiten für die Lizenzvergabe mit dem RightsLink Service des Copyright Clearance Center zusammen.
- When publishing a paper, authors usually transfer exclusive rights to the publisher. Most publishers have policies on self-archiving and authors' own re-use of the content. Publisher terms differ though, e.g. regarding re-use of published papers and inclusion of yet unpublished, submitted papers in a thesis.
- Listed here are details extracted from standardized policies and copyright agreements that are freely available online. In case you have agreed to deviating terms with the publisher, please check your copyright agreement and follow the respective terms.
- If the article was published open access and distributed under an open content license (Creative Commons license) there are a wider re-use options than described below. In addition to genuine open access journals, this can also be the case for subscription-based journals if the article was paid for on a single fee basis (so called hybrid open access) or open access was covered as part of a publish-and-read contract (e.g. DEAL ).
- Listed here is information that relates to use for online theses (published via the institutional repository). If you want to publish your cumulative thesis with a (commercial) publisher, please check permissions/terms directly with the publishers.
- Some (not all) publishers have different policies for self-archiving and re-use depending on the type of publication: journal article or book chapter . While this list focuses on journal articles, some policies for book chapters are also included. Please check carefully whether the described policy applies to your type of contribution.
- In general : You must provide a proper, full citation and use the DOI to link to the publisher's version . In addition, please check whether the publisher has any Special requirements , if applicable.
- While the use of an open access compliant free license (especially Creative Commons Attribution, CC BY) is advisable in general, it is not recommended for a thesis by publication (cumulative dissertation) if exclusive rights have already been assigned to publishers.
- Listed below are general terms. Obtain permission to use a different version, shorten the embargo period, or the like. Most publishers handle permissions with help of the RightsLink service by the Copyright Clearance Center.
