To successfully complete the doctorate, it is not enough to submit the dissertation, but an oral examination must also be passed. This usually takes place in the form of a disputation, in which – depending on the requirements of the doctoral regulations of the respective faculty – after a presentation on the theses and results described in the dissertation, these must be defended in front of an examination committee.

In order to provide you with specific support in preparing for your disputation, the House of Young Talents is offering individual disputation counselling sessions, in which you can clarify questions about the disputation process (at your faculty) and how best to prepare for it and/or discuss your disputation presentation with us. We will decide who from the HYT team will carry out the counselling with you based on the subject-specific suitability and your specific concerns.

Prior registration is required.
