Academic requirements - Cycle 40 & 41

Starting from the 40th cycle, a new doctoral credit (CD) system has been established. Please review the attached document.

Study Plan

To assist PhD students and supervisors in this process, starting this year we require the completion of a Study Plan for the three-year period, which must be agreed upon and signed by the supervisor.

The Study Plan is not strictly binding and can be revised each year. Its purpose is to:

• serve as a formal agreement between the PhD student and the supervisor;
• provide a clear roadmap and ensure that progress is monitored throughout the year, so that required credits and activities are completed in a timely manner.

A template and the form for submitting the signed Study Plan will be provided together with a deadline.
