Publishing the dissertation

Along with the task of writing an expert assessment, all reviewers are sent a revision sheet. Before the permission for printing can be issued, these revision sheets must be signed and returned to the Dean's office. After passing the oral examination and presentation of all revision sheets, the permission to print will be issued. Before this occurs, the dissertation may not be published.

The dissertation must be published within one year of successfully passing the oral examination.

If your dissertation is related to a patent application it might be advisable to sign a undefinednon-disclosure note (German). In order to secure your patent application the publication of your dissertation will then be deferred.
