Doctoral thesis
During a doctorate at D-MTEC you will write a monograph or a cumulative doctoral thesis, which you will defend during the doctoral examination.
The writing of the doctoral thesis is the primary aim of your doctorate; other goals, such as publications in monographs or in specialist journals, obtaining patents, must be considered as subordinate to your thesis.
At D-MTEC you have to write a monograph or a cumulative doctoral thesis consisting of at least three manuscripts that have already been published in peer-reviewed journals or books, or are soon to be published therein. For co-authored manuscripts, the nature and extent of the contribution of the doctoral candidate must be described in the introductory chapter. A cumulative doctoral thesis must begin with an introductory chapter. In this chapter, the connections between the single works and their positioning within the area of study must be made clear.
