These doctoral scholarships will be valid for the normal duration of the doctoral program, that is, the preparatory year and four years of writing the dissertation. Anyone not finishing the doctoral degree work within this period will lose his or her right to the scholarship. In special cases an extension may be granted by the Rector alone, with due consideration given to the opinion of the dissertation director. The duration of this extension will be explicitly defined. During the period of work on the doctorate the candidate may be asked to serve as an assistant, depending on the judgment of the dissertation director and the availability of the candidate.
For those who are already registered for the doctoral program:
For the reservation of a dissertation topic The theme of the dissertation is reserved for four years.
