Registration
What to do
First: Consult the information provided by the Doctoral Office
Follow the instructions of the doctoral office of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences
Second: GSfBS registration within three months after starting the doctoral project
Each doctoral candidate chooses a thesis advisory committee (TAC) consisting of the supervisor and two further scientists independent of the supervisor, called mentors. We recommend that one mentor is from a field closely related to the doctoral research project and the other from a different field but with complementary expertise. One of the mentors can be an independent group leader.
There are two ways to announce the TAC composition to the graduate school administration:
Please download the form and open it with Adobe for electronic signatures.
1. If you are in a graduate programme or institution (like MPI, CEPLAS, CGA, IMPRS, ITN, RTG, iRTG, etc.) that has its own supervision agreement, use this registration form, fill it in, sign it electronically and send it to
isabell.witt(at)uni-koeln.de (last names starting with A - L) or
katerina.vlantis(at)uni-koeln.de (last names sarting with M - Z).
2. Every doctoral candidate at the University of Cologne needs to have a supervision agreement.
If you are member of the GSfBS only, please use this form for a preparatory conversation before filling and signing the supervision agreement with your advisor and send it to
isabell.witt(at)uni-koeln.de (last names starting with A - L) or
katerina.vlantis(at)uni-koeln.de (last names sarting with M - Z)
