Dissertation

  • Where can I find instructions regarding the dissertation?

  • I need to upload a digital copy in Hora Finita. What is the maximum size of a dissertation?

    A digital copy of the thesis may be up to 500 MB in size.
  • I want to upload my dissertation, but it doesn't work properly. What should I do?

    Sometimes it does not work well to upload a dissertation at once through the site https://horafinita.rug.nl.

    A safe way to upload the dissertation is through the UWP. And then launch Hora Finita through a web browser.
  • I cannot save the pdf of the title page in Hora Finita. What should I do?

    Make sure that the title page is no more than one page (A4).
  • I have questions about the publication of my dissertation (number of copies, embargo, DOI, etc.). Where can I find more information?

    Information is available on Publishing dissertations.
  • I need to change the title page of my dissertation. Who should I contact?

    • If you need to change your dissertation title page before your PhD defence please contact promoveren rug.nl.
    • After the PhD defence please contact dissertations rug.nl.
  • There are typos in the final version of my thesis. Can I replace the version with a new version that is free of typos?

    The manuscript has already been approved by the assessment committee. Typos can always occur. Typos are not a reason to replace the manuscript.

  • I want to change my statements. What should I do?

    Theses have not yet been assessed by the supervisors: 

    • The PhD candidate can amend the theses themselves, as long as no assessment has yet been given by the (co-)supervisors.

    Theses have already been assessed by the supervisors:

    • Send a new document with amended theses to horafinita@rug.nl (the library will take care of uploading it).
    • Inform the supervisors and co-supervisors of these new propositions for their approval. They must approve the propositions again.
  • Where can I find more information about dissertation publishing?
