When agreeing upon a final thesis or a project paper, the student and the first examiner will determine whether the company wishes to restrict publication of the thesis/paper topic or implement another form of confidentiality agreement. 

Please visit thefollowing page for more information.

If the person you would like to select as your second examiner is external to HAW Hamburg, you will need to submit an application for an external second examiner before registering your thesis.

Please note: When you submit your application for an external second examiner to the Faculty Service Office, you need to submit the original document with ALL of the original signatures (all signatures: student, external second examiner, first examiner).

Please submit the signed original to the Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Service Office with the documents listed on the application form (a copy of the examiner's highest academic qualification – at least a B.A. for Bachelor's theses and an M.A. for Master's theses – as well as a CV which proves that they have at least five years of relevant professional experience).

These supporting documents are not required if this person has served as an examiner in your department during the last five years and the documents are still on file in the Faculty Service Office.

If you have an important reason (which you will need to prove), you can request an extension of the time allocated to complete your thesis. You may do so up until two weeks before the original submission date.

Application for an extension of the submission deadline

Please submit the completed and signed application, together with the necessary supporting documents (where required) to the Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Service Office.

Please note theSignature regulations regarding digital and original signatures for administrative documents of the examination and course regulations of the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science
