Programme structure

Each student's individual study plan has A. a part common to all PhD students at the Faculty of Scinece (PhD internship, literature research, regular presentation at a seminar, foreign internship, presentation at an international conference, English exam), B. a part of compulsory elective courses from the offer of PhD courses of each programme (2 to 5 courses proposed by the admissions committee) and C. possibly courses recommended by the admissions committee to supplement the knowledge of the master's degree (if the student comes from another field or another school). This Plan is binding on the student and changes to B. and C. courses are only possible after approval by the departmental board. The student draws up his/her study plan in collaboration with the supervisor and then submits it to the departmental board for approval. The rules for progression in the programme set out the conditions to be fulfilled by the student during the course of his/her studies and on completion of the programme.
This evaluation is governed by the Regulations of the Study and Examination Regulations of the USB and the Measure of the Dean of the Faculty of Scinece of the USB No. 62.
