Use of publications in academic theses (cumulative academic theses)
The UG only recognizes academic theses (diploma theses, master's theses and dissertations) and does not differentiate between monographs and cumulative theses. In many doctoral / PhD studies, it is clear from the beginning of the supervision process that publications on the chosen topic will be produced. Master's students also have the opportunity to publish parts of their Master's thesis during the development process.
The guidelines below serve to illustrate how publications can be integrated into academic work at the University of Vienna. The supervisors decide whether and how many publications can be included.
