In this seminar, the thesis project will be presented and discussed. A positive evaluation of the thesis project is the condition for acceptance of supervision. The seminar aims at evaluating whether the topic and the method chosen are suitable for a doctoral thesis. In case of a positive evaluation, the doctoral project will be accepted for supervision. All seminar participants will receive a detailed feedback on their doctoral project even if the evaluation is negative.In addition the University`s general admission criteria to the PhD program have to be fulfilled:The prerequisite for admission to the doctoral studies at the Law School of the University of Vienna are (a) the completion of the diploma study of law in Austria, or (b) the completion of an equivalent study of law at a recognized institution of higher (post-secondary) education in Austria or abroad, if need be after supplementary exams. In practice, only law graduates who have passed additional tests in Austrian civil and public law are admitted to doctoral studies at the University of Vienna´s Law School. As Austria is a German speaking country, most of these subjects are taught in German. The exams can, however, be held in English. It usually takes about one year of preparation to pass these exams.The PhD program comprises a period of 3 years.
