Defense

After having handed in the thesis, the supervisors have eight weeks to write their evaluations (Gutachten). The grade for the thesis will then appear in HISQIS. From this point of time, the evaluations can be read in the examination office.

You are responsible for the communication with your supervisors in order to set a date for your defense. Be aware that professors and other academic staff may not be available during the time between the terms (vorlesungsfreie Zeit). 

There need to be at least two weeks between the reading of the evaluations and the defense of the thesis. You also need to register for your defense at least two weeks prior to the planned defense. It therefore makes sense to hand in the registration document (called Anmeldung Verteidigung/Kolloquium on the webpage; see link above) on the same day on which you read the evaluations at the examination office. However, you may also throw it into the office’s post box.
