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