Follow-up and updating the plan

Student should update their research and study plan annually and submit it in electronic form (pdf) to the PhD studies committee. The updated plan should specify which results have been achieved so far and it should contain a detailed plan of the next phase in the research and studies.

If you belong to a graduate school, you will first-hand report to the school, and do not have to submit your plan according to the instructions on this page.

After two years of studies, the plan should include a clear description of the PhD thesis specifying how and when the student will finish the thesis.

For example plans, see the admission page.

  1. Update your plan and discuss it with your supervisor during the annual development talk.
  2. Send the updated plan to your mentors and ask for comments; preferrably meet with them personally.
  3. Update your plan based on the comments and submit it to the PhD committee by using this web form.

In the case you take too long to finish your PhD studies, the Faculty of Science may also require you to update your plan or otherwise you will not be able to register for the next term. In that, please contact the research coordinator.
