You can submit your thesis by post or you can deposit it in the book return box in the Campus Library for Computer Science and Mathematics (Building E2 3).
If you submit your thesis by post, the relevant date is the date of posting.
Please remember to include all of the required forms and to sign the declaration of original authorship in the thesis.
When submitting your thesis, please include:
Please make sure that you have read and understood the rules governing approved thesis examiners. If required, detailed information is available on request from the relevant Examination Board.
If, after submitting your thesis, you need to be issued with an examination certificate, please complete your part of the preliminary thesis review form and then send it to both thesis examiners individually, asking them to sign it and return it to your contact at the Examinations Office. The examination certificate can be issued once the Examinations Office has received the signed forms from both examiners and you have successfully completed all other assessments and examinations.
If the submission of your thesis was the last formal requirement in the academic assessment/examination phase of your programme of study, you can apply to Saarland University's Admissions Office to deregister. (Important note: if you are uncertain about whether you can deregister at this point, please seek confirmation from the Examinations Office).
Students are required to submit a printed bound copy and an electronic copy of their thesis. Students taking the single-subject degree programme in Computer Science or the Bachelor's programme in Cybersecurity must upload the electronic version of their thesis to the Department of Computer Science cloud storage system. Students on the other computer science programmes can submit their thesis on CD-ROM or upload it online to the cloud.
CD-ROM / DVD (not for students on the single-subject degree programme in Computer Science or Cybersecurity (B. Sc.))
Burn the PDF file containing your thesis and any other relevant additional data to a CD or DVD disk and hand it in together with the printed and bound copy of your thesis to the relevant contact at the Examinations Office.
Alternatively, if you are enrolled in one of the following degree programmes: Computer Science, Cybersecurity (B. Sc.), Mathematics and Computer Science, Embedded Systems (B. Sc.), Embedded Systems (M. Sc.), Entrepreneurial Cybersecurity, Computer and Communications Engineering, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DSAI) or Media Informatics, you have the option of uploading the electronic version of your thesis to the cloud storage system operated by the Department of Computer Science and then sharing your files with the relevant member of staff in the Examinations Office.
The departmental cloud storage system can be accessed at https://oc.cs.uni-saarland.de/. Students on computer science programmes at Saarland University are issued with the relevant account access details at the start of their course. The user name is identical to the UdS ID code issued to students at Saarland University (sXxxxxxx or xxxx0000x). The password was sent to you by post and is not the same as your LSF password. You can reset your password using the "Passwort vergessen?" (Forgotten your password?) link on the cloud access page.
If you are unable to access the cloud storage system or you are experiencing problems uploading your thesis to the cloud, please get in touch with the relevant member of staff at the Examinations Office.
To upload a thesis to the cloud, please proceed as follows:
thesis\_programme\_qualification\_surname\_firstname.format
programme = {cs, cyber, mathcs, es, ecs, cuk, dsai, mei}
qualification = {bsc, msc}
format = {pdf, zip}
e.g. thesis\_cs\_bsc\_Mustermann\_Erika.pdf
Note: The length of the file name (including the file extension) must not exceed 64 characters. If the file name is too long, an error message will be generated when you try to share the file.
