The Faculty Board and the Steering Group for Doctoral Education meeting dates can be found at TG-SOC Info pages.
The manuscript can be submitted to the Faculty for the pre-examination process at any time after the responsible supervisor has approved it. The Dean makes a decision of the pre-examiners. The duty of the Steering Group for Doctoral Education is to handle the pre-examiner’s statements after which the dean’s decision can be made for the permission to print the dissertation. The opponent’s statement is handled first at the Steering Group for Doctoral Education and after that in the Faculty Council. The final evaluation of the dissertation will be done at the Faculty Council based on the opponent’s and pre-examiner’s statements.
