What I have to take into account regarding the deadlines?

• It is not possible to submit a thesis topic approval and final thesis for evaluation at the same time. Thesis topic must have been approved in a DPC meeting before and valid when submitting the thesis for evaluation. Thesis topic approval is the starting point for working on your thesis. Send thesis topic approval document as soon as you have agreed with the topic with your supervisor. 
• It is possible to submit a final thesis for evaluation and apply for graduation at the same time. Please remember to keep your supervisor informed, and to leave enough time (4 weeks) for the supervisor to read the final thesis and write a statement.  
  
• Take possible holidays (summer, winter) into account when planning on the schedule, e.g. on giving the thesis presentation and submitting the final thesis to your supervisor for evaluation! 
• When you are planning to submit your thesis for evaluation, consider the deadlines according to your graduation and study right. You need to be present as a student when applying for thesis evaluation. This is critical especially at the end of semesters in July and December.
