Dissertations & theses

On October 30, 1997, the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs extended the principles for the publication of dissertations to include the possibility of submission in electronic form. This provides the legal framework for amending the local doctoral regulations.

Delivery of electronic dissertations at the University of Hohenheim

At the University of Hohenheim, all three faculties have the option of submitting doctoral theses in electronic form. The doctoral regulations stipulate that the obligation to publish the dissertation can be fulfilled by submitting a printed and an electronic copy to the KIM library.

Transmission

Please follow the instructions for submission under Publication Process & Instructions.

Printed copies

In addition to the file in PDF format, printed copies of the dissertation must be submitted to the KIM library (A4 or A5 format, printed on both sides, no ring stitching). Delivery to the Central Library, Garbenstr.15, 2nd floor, room 228, 70599 Stuttgart, Phone 0711 / 459-22094.

The deposit copies can also be handed in at the circulation desk of the Central Library during normal opening hours. They can also be sent by post.

If you have any questions about the printed copies, please also send an e-mail to dissertationen@uni-hohenheim.de.

Theses without publication obligation

Theses that do not have to be published, such as Bachelor's or Master's theses, can be published on hohPublica if the responsible supervisor recommends publication due to outstanding achievements or relevance of content.

The recommendation can be made informally by e-mail to hohpublica@uni-hohenheim.de with the following content:

"I, [supervisor], hereby recommend the publication of [graduate]'s work on hohPublica."

In addition, the supervisor must submit a declaration of consent that he/she will be publicly named on hohPublica in relation to the work. This can also be done by email, ideally combined with the recommendation for publication.
