Obligation to publish academic theses

Doctoral theses and postdoctoral theses 

The doctoral and postdoctoral regulations of the faculties at the University of Potsdam require the publication of the academic thesis and, where applicable, the submission of legal deposit copies.

The academic thesis may be published online on the University’s publication server or submitted in printed form. The number and format of the legal deposit copies depend on the requirements of the relevant doctoral regulations of the faculty awarding the degree and the chosen method of publication.

Please consult this page for information on the general and specific requirements before sending your thesis to print. To ensure you meet the deadlines, please note that processing your academic thesis can take up to 14 days.
