The doctoral committee decides on the applications at its meetings at least once every semester (see “Doctoral deadlines”).

The submission deadline for complete applications (incl. copy of certificates and CV) is two weeks before the committee meeting/Promotionsabschlussberatung at the latest.

Please submit original applications for business studies (BWL) directly to the secretariat of the doctoral committee, Ludwigstr. 28 VG/EG, room 04.
