Education and Supervision Plan

Education and Supervision Plan

Each PhD candidate who wants to become a NETHUR member must submit an Education and Supervision Plan. The Education and Supervision Plan contains specific agreements between the PhD candidate and the supervisor(s) concerning supervision of the PhD project and educational activities to be attended.

Minimum NETHUR requirements for the education plan are:

• Title and date of NETHUR core courses to be attended;
• Title, study load, date and organising institute of courses, schools, conferences, et cetera, to be attended.

Minimum NETHUR requirement for the supervision plan:

• Time scheme of discussion and assessment meetings with the supervisor(s).

The PhD candidate may use the format provided by the local research institute or use the standard EducationSupervisionPlan.doc.

Supervision

The staff input for supervision, which applies to all aspects of the dissertation research, is set at approximately 30 hours per year, i.e. 120 hours for a regular full-time, four-year PhD project. About 80 hours of that time should be allocated to direct research supervision. The remaining 40 hours consist of joint activities by the PhD candidate and the supervisor(s), such as writing conference papers and articles.
