Doctoral Committee of the Cooperative Doctoral Platform

In order to conduct cooperative doctorates, the Research Campus of Central Hessen has established a Doctoral Committee comprising professors of the three participating universities. This committee supports the participating universities in cooperative doctoral procedures. It examines the criteria which must be fulfilled for acceptance in a cooperative doctoral procedure and the academic quality of the applications of those seeking acceptance as doctoral candidates. In each case, the Doctoral Committee submits a recommendation to the Examination Board of the university faculty in which the doctoral project is to be conducted. The decision to accept or reject the applicant is made by the Examination Board of the university faculty. The Doctoral Committee ensures that graduates of universities of applied sciences have unbiased access to a doctoral degree.
