WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE
Article 26
Should a dispute arise during the preparation of a PhD thesis between the supervisor(s) and the PhD student or
between the supervisor(s)/PhD student and the (Interdisciplinary) PhD Progress Monitoring Commission, the following
actions will be taken:
- The Dean and/or the Ombudsperson for PhD students will intervene to mediate.
- If their mediation fails to produce results, the Council of Rectors (Rectorencollege) – acting at the request of
the supervisor or the PhD student and having heard both sides – will decide whether and under which
conditions work on the thesis is to be continued.
