titleShould you live in the same city as your supervisor?

No, living in the same city as the supervisor is not required. What matters is that the organisational conditions allow for regular and reliable supervision. Expectations regarding personal meetings, availability and communication should be discussed and agreed upon between the doctoral candidate and the supervisor at an early stage.

titleHow many doctoral candidates should a supervisor supervise at the same time?

There is no fixed upper limit on the number of doctoral candidates a supervisor may supervise simultaneously. However, prospective doctoral candidates should inform themselves about the current supervision situation before starting their doctorate. The amount of supervision time available may depend on the supervisor’s other commitments as well as additional support structures, for example postdoctoral researchers or academic staff.

titleCan I be supervised by a professor outside the Doctoral Association?

This is only possible as a secondary supervisor and only if the professor at another institution has the right to supervise doctoral candidates.

(§ 5 Begutachtende und betreuende Personen, Prüferinnen und Prüfer Abs. (1), Rahmenpromotionsordnung Promotionsverband BW)
