Individual study plan and follow-up

Every doctoral student must have an individual study plan (ISP). The individual study plan is a very important material that includes both the commitments of the doctoral student and the University.

Annual update of the study plan

The first individual study plan must be finished no more than three months after the doctoral student has been admitted, and it is the principal supervisor’s responsibility to ensure that this is carried out. After this, the individual study plan is to be updated at least once a year. If necessary, the study plan can be followed up with shorter intervals. The study plan must also be updated prior to application for the licentiate seminar or for the public defence of doctoral thesis. The individual study plan is approved by the relevant School.

How the University implements follow-ups

For all doctoral educations, there are directors of studies that is responsible for monitoring each doctoral student’s study environment and academic performance.

The director of studies is responsible for ensuring that follow-up meetings regarding the doctoral student are carried out each year. These meetings should be attended by the director of studies, the principal supervisor, at least one second supervisor and the doctoral student.
