- an exposé of the doctoral project. The synopsis should be approximately ten pages long, including a cover sheet and list of references. It should first describe the background or the problem, followed by a clear research question (objective, if necessary with sub-objectives and/or hypotheses). In addition, an overview of the current state of knowledge, a clear presentation of the methodology and a time and funding plan are important. The Doctoral Committee examines each exposé with regard to whether the respective topic is appropriate for a doctorate, whether new, transferable findings are to be expected and whether the time and financing plan are plausible.
