You can read about the entire process here. Here is a step-by-step explanation of what happens and when.
Recognition of publications from the period before acceptance as a
doctoral candidate (resolution of the Faculty Council on 14.11.2017)
According to § 4 para. 1 of the General Provisions for the Doctoral Regulations of the Faculties of the FSU of July 6, 2017, the following applies: "Anyone who fulfills the admission requirements according to § 3 and intends to write a dissertation must apply to the relevant faculty of the FSU for acceptance as a doctoral candidate before starting work on the dissertation."
This means that for publication-based doctorates, the date of submission of the relevant
publication as first author must be after the date of acceptance as a doctoral candidate.
The legal basis for the doctorate at the Friedrich Schiller University, and especially at the Medical Faculty are
- General Doctoral Examination Regulations of the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena
- Course of Examination for Doctoral Candidates of the Medical Faculty of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Legal note: These english versions are for your information only. The legal basis for the Course of Examination for Doctoral Candiates and the General Doctoral Examination Regulations of the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena are the original German texts).
Please read these regulations carefully. They contain important information about the acceptance as a doctoral candidate, and the conditions for the course of examination.
