Preparing the CD for submitting the final thesis

Faculties: AC, AMP, AR, BI, EFI, IN, MB/VS, SOH, VT, WT

When you submit your final thesis, depending on the faculty and your supervisors, you may also need to prepare a CD that contains all sources and documentation of your work. If you are not sure whether this is required in your case, ask your supervisor.

Submission – New regulation

From November 8, 2024, a new standardized process for submitting final theses applies at Ohm: All students submit their final theses to the Student Office.

The submission consists of one printed copy and an identical digital PDF version, which you must send by email to studienbuero@th-nuernberg.de and to your first and second examiners.

Further information can be found in the registration form for the final thesis.

Exceptions:

  • For students who have already registered their thesis, a transitional regulation applies – allowing submission according to the previous procedures (see old regulation).
  • In the Faculties of Design and Architecture, formats for final theses may differ.

Submission – Old regulation

The CD should contain the frozen state of your work, i.e., not only the thesis itself, but also all sources and documentation stored on it.

In the appendix of your thesis, you should illustrate the folder structure of the CD.

Example of how to present the folder structure on the CD:

The CD must also be labeled: with your name, the short title of the thesis, and the (burn) date.
