Doctoral candidates enrolled on the ph.d. programme are obliged to submit a Progress Report every fall semester, November 1st at the latest. This is how the Faculty keeps track of each doctoral candidate`s progress, and learns about any possible problems or issues that may have arisen in the previous year.
Failure to submit Progress Reports may result in compulsory termination of the doctoral candidate’s admission to the doctoral degree programme, §11.
All the candidate’s supervisors are also obliged to submit Progress Reports. The doctoral candidate is responsible for distributing the forms to his/her supervisor(s). The doctoral candidate and the supervisor(s) may return the forms separately to the Faculty.
In addition to the Progress Report, the doctoral candidate needs to briefly outline last year’s progression, which parts of the obligatory training component have been completed, any leaves of absence, and any changes in employment contracts. Remember also to include information about changes in work conditions, work-place and supervision.
Doctoral candidates having been enrolled for six months or less do not need to send Progress Reports.
NB! The Faculty’s Progress Reports should not be confused with equivalent reports to funding institutions or/and employer.
