Short presentations Dr.phil Summer Semester 2026 (Session 1)
We cordially invite interested parties to the public short presentations in the Dr. phil where doctoral candidates present their exposés to an academic board.
The academic board is responsible for confirming the feasibility of the proposed dissertations at the Academy and the supervision arrangements, making any recommendations regarding secondary or team supervision, providing feedback on the research proposal, and fostering a respectful and collegial culture of discussion.
