Faculty and institutional ombuds offices
If you are a (PhD-)student and you have a dispute with a lecturer, a question, a report or a complaint about the teaching and examination process and you cannot turn to the lecturer-in-charge or student representative for help?
Contact the faculty or institutional ombudsperson. As a student, you choose who you contact: the faculty ombudspersons are usually closer to the programme/faculty and can therefore often answer your question in a more focused way, while the institutional ombudsperson has an overview of the entire institution.
Anonymous complaints will not be accepted but complaints are handled confidentially.
