In a joint PhD programme, HSMW and the university work together to support you on your path to a doctoral degree. During the PhD process, university professors collaborate with HSMW professors as supervisors, expert reviewers and examiners. The doctoral degree is awarded by the supervising university. The doctoral and exam regulations of the relevant faculty at the university therefore govern the requirements that must be met.
"(4) Universities and Universities of Applied Sciences shall cooperate in the joint doctoral programme by jointly supervising doctoral work.
(5) 1Without prejudice to Section 111, the details shall be governed by the doctoral regulations of the higher education institution authorised to award doctorates; with regard to the second sentence, point 3, this shall be done in consultation with the University of Applied Sciences. 2This applies in particular to: 1. the admission of doctoral candidates and the revocation thereof, as well as admission to the doctoral programme; 2. the aptitude assessment procedure, including the criteria for determining additional academic requirements to be fulfilled; 3. cooperation with Universities of Applied Sciences, including the participation of academic staff from such universities in the cooperative doctoral programme as supervisors, expert reviewers or examiners, 4. the conclusion of a supervision agreement governing the rights and obligations of the doctoral candidate and the supervisor, and 5. whether a oral examination is to be held.
