The doctoral regulations for BiGSEM students consist of two parts:
The central university doctoral degree regulations (Rahmenpromotionsordnung, RPO) express the institutional responsibility of Bielefeld University for all doctoral projects. These are the top priority regulations that have to be taken care of while performing a doctoral project at Bielefeld University.
The doctoral regulations (DR) of the Department of Business Administration and Economics specify these rules with respect to the objectives of the department.
Due to recent changes, please make sure to take a look at the right version of these. Decisive for what version is relevant for you is the date of your official acceptance as a doctoral candidate.
