Doctoral Regulations
In 2016 the document Erstfassung der Rahmenpromotionsordnung was passed. This regulation applies to all doctoral candidates alongside and in conjunction with the doctoral regulations of the individual faculties and graduate schools. The 2016 version was superseded by the one that came into force in spring 2022 (first amendment statutes). It has been adapted and is valid in this amended form ever since. You can access the legal amendment statute here.here
Please find here an English translation of the Framework Regulation for Doctorates at JMU ("Rahmenpromotionsordnung"). Please note that the official German text available above is the version that is legally binding.
General information on faculty regulations: After the doctoral regulations have been approved by the respective faculty council, they are ultimately discussed in the Senate and, in the event of a positive Senate decision, are officially announced and put into force. The official faculty regulations are only available in German.
