Practical information for supervisors for students in Molecular Biology and Molecular Medicine.

Deadlines for the evaluation of theses and bachelor projects:

Theses:

Students following the prescribed period of study for theses must have completed their thesis (incl. evaluation) by 30 June the year following the thesis startup.

Students not following the prescribed period of study must complete their thesis within the following time frames: 60 ECTS thesis must be completed within 10 months, 45 ECTS thesis must be completed within 7.5 months and 30 ECTS thesis within 5 months). The above time frames include evaluation.

Bachelor projects:

Bachelor projects must be submitted by 15 June and be evaluated by 30 June.
Submission and evaluation take place in the Digital Exam (exam.au.dk).

Practical tasks for supervisor

As a supervisor, it is your responsibility to:

find an examiner to evaluate the project/thesis. If there is more than one supervisor assigned to the project, the examiner is to be found jointly. We recommend that the examiner is found before the student submits the thesis.
send a copy of the project/thesis to the examiner
find an ad hoc examiner if the person you wish to use is not on one of the lists of examiners below.
See procedure for appointment of ad hoc examiners on the websites for external examiners below.
It might be a good idea to get the ad hoc examiner added to one of the lists if you plan on using the examiner several times.

List of examiners:

For Molecular Biology and Molecular Medicine students you will find an external examiner from the list on this website. You must find an examiner among the lists of external examiners in biology. Please note that external examiners must not be employed at the same faculty as the person to be evaluated.

Please note: The examiners must not be employed or within the last two years have been employed at the university where they act as external examiners. Members of the University Board cannot act as examiner at the university. An adjunct professor or adjunct lecturer cannot act as external examiner at the university where he is an adjunct professor or adjunct lecturer. Please avoid mutual evaluation where the teacher becomes examiner for the person evaluating his/her students.

Protocols:

For Molecular Medicine and Molecular Biology: You will be contacted by the study administration after the student has signed up for the exam, where you will be asked for the name of the censor. When the student has handed in his/her thesis to "Digital eksamen" (DE), a link to the protocol in DE will be sent via e-mail to you and to the censor. Open the uploaded project/thesis and give a mark.
