Please note:

• Only final theses (bachelor's or master's theses) can be submitted via the thesis upload.

• Only use the thesis upload function. Do not send your final thesis directly to your examiners via email!

The upload can only be done from the university network. A VPN-Connection may be required for this. After successful upload, you will automatically receive a confirmation email with the timestamp of the complete upload, as proof of timely submission. Your final thesis will be delivered directly to the responsible staff at the ZPA upon receipt. If the submission is carried out correctly, your final thesis will be forwarded to your examiners. Otherwise, you will be notified. Important notes*: Deadline compliance: Please observe the deadline for submitting your final thesis. For a timely submission, your final thesis must be fully uploaded before the deadline (e.g. 15.10.2026 at 23:59:59). Start the upload in good time and allow sufficient time! Late uploaded theses cannot be considered and would be deemed as not submitted. Bindingness: The work can only be uploaded once within the submission deadline. Subsequent changes or additions are not possible. Other provided digital versions cannot be considered! • Declarations: Necessary affidavits must be included in the submitted PDF. A subsequent submission via email is not permitted. • File size and file format: Use the PDF format and observe the maximum file size of 50 MB. Pay attention to quality, completeness, and readability. Contact the ZPA if: Should technical problems on the part of the Bergische Universität unexpectedly arise on the day of submitting your final thesis and you cannot log into the DMS, please provide proof of this as specified via screenshot/photos (see step-by-step guide). Please contact your responsible staff immediately via zpateam4[at]uni-wuppertal.de with these proofs. If it is determined that no upload took place despite no technical problems on the part of the Bergische Universität, your final thesis will be deemed as not submitted (if your submission deadline has already passed).
