GRADUATE EDUCATION AND TRAINING REGULATION SENATE APPLICATION PRINCIPLES

Senate Policy - Doctoral Qualifying Examination

Article 50 SE

(2) The Doctoral Qualification Committee consists of 5 (five) faculty members proposed by the Programme Executive Committee and/or the Head of the EABD and accepted by the GSAB, and its term of office is 2 (two) years. The members of the Doctoral Qualification Committee determine the chairperson of the Doctoral Qualification Committee by majority vote at the first meeting. The GSAB may make changes in the qualification committee due to force majeure and the term of office of the new members is completed together with the committee. A new faculty member is appointed to replace the faculty member who leaves the committee before the end of the term of office to complete the remaining term with the recommendation of the Head of the EABD and the decision of the EYK. The Doctoral Qualifying Committee determines, plans, organises and conducts the scope of the Doctoral Qualifying Examination according to the competence expected from the relevant doctoral programme.
