New rules for mandatory copies of theses
The faculties have different regulations regarding the number of thesis copies to be submitted, which are mostly regulated in the doctoral degree regulations. From November 1, 2024, the University Library will only accept one printed copy of the dissertation if it is submitted electronically and will then fill out the confirmation of submission on this basis. If only the printed version is submitted, three copies will be required, as these will still be distributed to the State and National Library.
This has been published in detail in a letter from the University Library (in German).
