Requirements and Rules for Postgraduate Studies and Examinations to Obtain a PhD Degree at the Hannover Medical School
On 15 December 2000 the Senate of the Medical School of Hannover resolved the following Requirements and Rules for Postgraduate Studies and Examinations to Obtain a PhD Degree at the Medical School of Hanover (alternatively Dr. rer. nat. for life scientists). (additions on June 4th 2002, February 11th 2004)
Chapter One
Objective of PhD Studies
§ 1 Objective Research studies at the Hannover Medical School (MHH) for the purpose of obtaining a PhD degree (hereinafter referred to as PhD studies) shall facilitate postgraduate training with a focus on specific research projects with a view to enabling the candidate to do in-depth scientific work on his or her own and to provide him or her with additional professional qualifications for future assignments in research or related areas of work. PhD studies shall foster the development of outstandingly gifted up-and-coming academics. The standard time allowed for completing PhD studies shall be three years. Once these PhD studies have been successfully completed, and the PhD examination has been passed, the MHH will award the degree of a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Dr. rer. nat. for natural scientists (not for medical students).
Chapter Two
Requirements for Access and Admission
§ 2 Access (1) Anybody having successfully completed university studies in medicine, veterinary medicine or natural sciences shall have access to PhD studies. (2) Applicants are required to render evidence of above-average results obtained at university. The applicant’s past career must reveal his or her particular qualification for and dedication to scientific work. A physician or dentist will provide evidence of such qualification and dedication by his or her highly expert doctoral thesis in human medicine or dentistry, with at least its experimental or analytical part completed. Decision on whether or not a candidate qualifies for access to PhD studies is up to the PhD Committee (§ 4).
§ 3 Admission to PhD Studies (1) The number of applicants that can be admitted to PhD studies is limited. The number of new applicants admitted annually is 20. The applicants should not be older than 30 years. The PhD Committee shall select the applicants to be admitted (§ 4). As a rule, the President of the MHH will give notice of the date of commencement of PhD studies once a year. (2) The decisive criterion for admission to PhD studies is the overall grade which the student graduated with from university, or the quality of his or her doctoral thesis pursuant to § 2 sub-para. 2. If the number of applicants exceeds the limit, the decision on an applicant’s particular qualification for and dedication to scientific work shall be dependent on a written test (biomedical questions) and on an interview with the PhD Committee and on the quality of the project proposed by him or her, with due consideration of the team’s working conditions. A written protocol of the interview shall be taken. To assess the project, the Committee shall procure an expert report prepared by a university teacher. The result of the interview as well as the quality of the project proposal shall each carry the same weight in the selection of applicants.
35
(3) Application papers shall be submitted to the chairperson of the PhD Committee and shall include:
- an informal letter of application for PhD studies indicating the applicant’s particular aptitude and motivation for doing PhD studies and his or her interests and ideas regarding his or her future professional career;
- the application form
- a C.V. including school/university reports and information or certificates on English language skills (and German language skills if applicants are from non-German speaking countries);
- two letters of recommendation
- if applicable: a letter of recommendation prepared by his or her supervisor (§ 4 sub-para. 3) indicating the subject of the research project, confirmation of scientific supervision, confirmation of position, information on planned financing of the research project, and a suggestion for a scientist other than a university teacher to join the co-ordinators’ team (§ 4 sub-para. 3);
- a description of the proposed research project including the most significant aspects of the present state of the art and the project schedule (as agreed with the co-ordinator) or alternatively a detailed description of former research work; the purpose of such description is to demonstrate that this is an ambitious research project promising an important scientific contribution (e.g. Master thesis; medical doctoral thesis)
- designation of the scientific discipline in which the applicant intends to acquire the PhD degree; this discipline should preferably be one of the major foci of the program.
- certificates (4) On the basis of this application the PhD Committee shall decide on admission to PhD studies and determine the discipline in which the student can work for his or her PhD degree.
Chapter Three
PhD Committee
§ 4 PhD Committee (1) The PhD Committee appointed by the MHH senate shall be responsible for the conduct of PhD studies pursuant to the provisions relating to the Requirements and Rules for postgraduate studies and examinations to obtain a PhD (Dr.rer.nat.) degree. (2) The Committee shall be composed of four professors, a university scientist with a doctor’s degree, and a student in an advisory capacity. The members of the Committee shall be appointed by the MHH Senate for a period of four years, or two years as regards the student member. Re-election of the latter shall be admissible. The PhD students shall suggest a candidate from among their ranks. The Committee shall be constituted by the “Forschungsdekan” responsible for research and shall elect a professor from among its ranks as chairman. (3) The Committee will meet regularly, at least every 8 weeks. (4) The Committee will evaluate proposed projects (open projects) according to quality (with external referees if necessary), financial support, guarantee of independence for PhD student. (5) The PhD Committee shall appoint a team of co-ordinators for each PhD student. Such team shall be composed of the student’s personal co-ordinator (a scientist qualified as university teacher in the student’s specific field of research at the MHH), and two further scientists qualified as university teachers whose professional activity shall be closely related to the subject of the project. If no third MHH teacher can be found to join the team, a scientist qualified as university teacher in the student’s field of research but not actually teaching at university can be suggested to join the panel. In the presence of several PhD students doing research in the same line, the respective co-ordinators’ teams can be composed of the same individuals.
36
Chapter Four Curriculum
§ 5 Contents of Studies
(1) The contents to be learned shall be conveyed to the students through their experimental or equivalent theoretical research work and through project-related as well as inter-disciplinary research-oriented courses and seminars. For that purpose, the PhD Committee shall prepare and submit, after consultation with the university institutions involved in these studies, a curriculum indicating compulsory and recommended courses or seminars for each discipline. The standard curricula will ensue from the model curriculum shown in Appendix 2 hereto. The courses and seminars shall be held by the teachers and professors of the MHH, the School of Veterinary Medicine, or the University of Hanover, including visiting professors. At least some of the teaching shall be in English. The curriculum may include courses and seminars held at a Graduiertenkolleg. PhD students may also register for suitable courses or seminars offered by other scientific schools (Hanover University, Hanover School of Veterinary Medicine, etc.). Students are encouraged to do active teaching themselves, e.g. by giving lectures at seminars or postgraduate research trainingprogram [Doktorandenkolleg]. Each student’s individual progress at PhD courses and seminars shall be monitored and consistently assessed by the respective teachers on the basis of tests, with teachers preparing written reports on the results obtained by the student. (2) PhD students shall design, after consultation concert with their co-ordinators, their respective individual schedules pursuant to the curriculum established by the PhD Committee. Such individual schedule shall require approval by the respective co-ordinators’ team. The student must complete a minimum of 300 hours at courses and seminars during his or her PhD studies; as a rule, at least 80% thereof must be taken at project-related courses and seminars and up to 20% may be spent on interdisciplinary learning (e.g. experimental techniques and bio-informatics, molecular biology, bio-statistics, scientific communication etc.). The European Credit Point System has been introduced for assessing tuition results.
During the first year of PhD studies, courses for physicians, dentists and veterinarians are intended to provide participants with a chance to consolidate their knowledge of the fundamental principles of natural sciences and courses for natural scientists are intended to consolidate their knowledge in medical aspects. (3) The structure of the PhD program and the modus of granting credit points (cp) according to the European ECTS system is as follows (accreditation according to European standards on December 9th, 2003). For the 3-year program altogether 180 cp have to be achieved:
- Every student will perform a 3-year research project in one of the departments of MHH or partner institutes. Altogether 125 cp are awarded.
- Every student will present his project including an open discussion annually within the department. All Co-supervisors are invited. Altogether 10 cp are awarded.
- For regular visits of and presentations in "Journal Clubs" 3 cp are awarded.
- Every student will present his project and discuss it within an annual public workshop. Before the workshop, a project report has to be handed in. Altogether 10 cp are awarded.
- For presentations (lecture or poster) on congresses/meetings maximal 2 cp are awarded.
- In the first year of study, students attend the obligatory seminars in Basics (2 SWS) and tutorial (1 SWS). At the beginning, specific in-depth seminars for medical students as well as life scientists (seperately) are offered. Altogether 8 cp are awarded.
- In the second year of study, students attend the obligatory advanced seminars with focus on research and applied aspects (2 SWS) and tutorial (1 SWS). Altogether 8 cp are awarded.
- Within 3 years, students will have to attend at least 80 hours of project-orientated seminars, including method courses and practical courses. Altogether 8 cp are awarded.
- Within 3 years, students will have to attend at least 60 hours of interdisciplinary seminars, including "soft skills" (presentation techniques, scientific writing etc.). Altogether 6 cp are awarded.
37
PhD students could apply for a leave (e.g. in case of pregnancy), but for no more than 12 month. Short term stays abroad are very much appreciated and will be supported. If students take seminars and courses abroad, they could be acknowledged for the PhD program.
§ 6 Co-ordinators
(1) PhD students shall supervised by the members of their respective team of co-ordinators (§ 4) appointed by the PhD Committee. The responsibilities of the team shall be: a) To act as co-ordinators and to give individual expert advice to PhD students all through their PhD
studies while observing the MHH rules of proper scientific practice. b) To evaluate PhD students’ progress during their studies by reading their reports and conducting tests,
and to assess their written final examination papers. c) Within a time of probation of 6 months, PhD students are evaluated. Within this time peroid, student
status can be omitted easily in agreement with the supervisors and PhD Committee. Within the scope of their research project, students have to work with appropriate methods on a clearly defined subject so that, with some realistic prospect of success, scientific knowledge can be expected to be incremented and the results of such research should be published in international peer review journals. The co-ordinators shall make sure, and satisfy the PhD Committee to that effect, that students are not entrusted with any tasks unrelated to their PhD studies. Physicians registered for PhD studies shall be given an opportunity to do at least part of their pre-license internship (AIP). (2) The co-ordinators shall be responsible for the financing of the respective research project and shall make efforts, during the standard period of PhD studies (three years), to raise the money needed for the PhD students they are in charge of. Any scholarships available at the MHH, e.g. from internal sources such as the HiLF programme or from the Society of MHH Friends [Gesellschaft der Freunde der MHH], shall be awarded by resolution of the PhD Committee. (3) Co-ordinators should assist PhD students in planning their further professional career. (4) The responsibilities of co-ordinators for PhD students shall end upon the date when the latter pass their PhD examination (§ 10), which is normally three years but no later than five years after commencement of PhD studies.
§ 7 Scientific Colloquia PhD students shall be invited once every year by the PhD Committee to attend a public colloquium held at the MHH, giving them an opportunity to give a lecture on the current state of their research. The contents of such lecture, constituting an interim report, shall be submitted in writing by the PhD student to the PhD Committee. The Committee shall decide whether or not this progress report constitutes a sufficient step towards the successful completion of the student’s research. If the Committee’s comment is negative, such result shall be communicated in writing to the student and his or her co-ordinators’ team, indicating the reasons. Pursuant to a period of one month, the student shall submit a modified work plan for the next year of his research, giving due consideration to the recommendations made.
38
Chapter Five
Examinations
§ 8 Intermediate Examination The oral intermediate examination shall be held no later than 18 months after commencement of PhD studies. By way of exception, which must be well-founded, the intermediate examination can be taken at a later date. If a student wishes such exception, he shall apply in writing to the PhD Committee adding a comment prepared by his co-ordinators’ team. The dates for intermediate examinations shall be determined by the PhD Committee. The intermediate examination shall be held by the a member of the PhD Committee and an expert (chairman) in the special field and shall cover topics from the student’s research project and from the courses and seminars the student has registered for. The examination usually is held in English. If the student fails the intermediate examination he shall be allowed to retake it once, pursuant to a period of at least three and no more than six months as the co-ordinators’ team may decide. If the student fails again, he or she shall be deemed to have finally and absolutely failed. Following such final and absolute failure the student shall be taken off the register. The “chairman” shall report the result of the intermediate examination to the PhD Committee. The result of the exam will account for 20% of the final mark (PhD or Dr.rer.nat.).
§ 9 Requirements for Signing up for PhD Examination After completion of PhD studies, which is normally at the end of the third year, the PhD examination shall be held by the co-ordinators’ team. The PhD student shall submit the following documents when signing up for the PhD examination: 1. Certificate of regular attendance at and completion of courses and seminars according to the
curriculum, i.e. a total of at least 300 hours (55 cp), and of two colloquia pursuant to § 7; 2. Certificate of intermediate examination; 3. A scientific thesis (dissertation) prepared in English or German by the PhD student on the research
project the student worked on during his or her PhD studies, with introduction, methodology, results, discussion and summary. The thesis shall constitute an essential original scientific contribution to the discipline the student’s research project pertains to;
4. Alternatively (instead of thesis), at least two first author publications in internationally renowned
peer review science journals. The PhD student’s personal contribution to such publications shall be clearly identified. In that context, “accepted” shall be deemed equivalent to “published”. As for this publication requirement, exceptions are possible with reasons to be given by the co-ordinator. The publications must be correlated as regards their subject matter, and shall be supplemented by a detailed description under a joint title in English or German of the research subject, including an overall summary and a discussion of results.
To assess the thesis or the publications, the PhD Committee shall procure at least one external
expert’s opinion. For the Dr. rer. nat., this expert has to be member of a natural science faculty. In addition, the co-ordinators’ team shall prepare an expert report on the dissertation or the publications, and such report together with the external expert’s opinion shall serve the PhD Committee to make their assessment. If one of the expert reports detects any shortcomings in the dissertation, the PhD Committee can be requested to have such shortcomings eliminated or remedied as a precondition for acceptance of the thesis. The chairperson can allow a reasonable period for the PhD candidate to remedy the shortcomings and recommend that he or she submit the thesis anew. In that respect, the chairperson of the PhD Committee can extend this period once only. The experts shall assess the thesis again once the shortcomings have been remedied. If, based on such second experts’ vote, the PhD Committee declines to accept the thesis, the candidate shall be deemed to have failed the PhD examination finally and absolutely. In that case, the PhD student shall be taken off the register.
39
§ 10 PhD Examination The PhD examination consists of a public lecture (15 min, in English) held by the PhD student at the Medical School on the subject of his research, a subsequent public disputation of the project of at least 30 minutes of duration to assess the knowledge acquired by the student on the subject of his specific area of research as well as on interdisciplinary subjects. The interview also serves to assess whether the candidate has acquired, and is able to apply, any knowledge and skills relating to the scientific environment of the subject of his research. If the PhD student has opted for any minor subject not represented by the members of his or her co-ordinators’ team, the PhD Committee shall invite to the co-ordinators’ team a professor, or a scientific staff member who is qualified as a university teacher and lectures at the MHH, or an external scientist who in his or her own scientific research has dealt with the subject of the candidate’s research. Only the members of the co-ordinators’ team shall have a vote in deciding on the result of the examination. The assessment of the oral examination follows the Requirements and Rules for Examinations to Obtain a Doctor’s Degree in Natural Sciences set up jointly for the Departments of Natural Sciences at the University of Hanover. The oral examination shall be taken on record in abridged form and shall indicate:
the grade earned for the oral examination, the grade earned for the thesis, the overall grade average earned for the PhD examination.
It shall be signed by the chairman of the board of examiners. The following grades can be awarded: Excellent/ very good/ good / satisfactory / sufficient Equivalent to excellent / summa cum laude, very good / magna cum laude, good / laude, passed / rite. If the candidate fails the final examination he or she shall be allowed to retake it once, pursuant to a period of at least three and no more than six months as the co-ordinators’ team may decide. Should the student then fail again, he or she shall be deemed to have finally and absolutely failed the PhD examination. Following such final and absolute failure the student shall be taken off the register. The result of the PhD examination shall be communicated to the PhD Committee by the Rector’s office.
Chapter Six
The PhD Doctorate
§ 11 Award of the Academic Degree of a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Once the student has passed the PhD examination he or she shall be awarded the academic degree of a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or a Dr. rer. nat. degree by the MHH. A document as shown in Appendix 1 shall be issued to him or her in evidence of such award. The award shall authorize the candidate to use the academic title of a PhD, PhD or Dr. rer. nat..
