Distribution
The dissertation must be published no later than 10 days before the defence, by 12.00 (or later if the faculty dean has granted an extension for publishing; the decision on an extension must, in this case, be brought to the attention of Student Services by the deadline in question). Publishing means that the defendant furnishes the dissertation to the university.
Digitally published dissertations must be submitted to the university library according to specific guidelines. Furthermore, three printed copies must be provided for filing: that is, one for the library, one for the faculty and a third for Student Services.
The number of copies of the dissertation, either both digital and printed or only printed, to be published is shown according to appendix 1.
Distribution of a printed dissertation
If the dissertation will be printed only, 50 copies must be provided to the university. There may be no reserved copies of any dissertation, neither beforehand nor on the first two days of distribution. Dissertations are distributed at Student Services or the faculty offices upon receipt.
