Changes in the Conditions of Doctoral Training

Approval of changes in the conditions of a doctoral researcher's training is made by the Faculty of Medicine.

Change of a supervisor/a member of the follow-up committee/a research plan

Addition/change of a supervisor (max 3 supervisors):

• A short freeform application containing an explanation for the reasons to the addition/change of a supervisor
• Each party (the doctoral researcher as well as the existing and the new suggested supervisor) signs/approves by email the application
• The application is submitted to the Chief academic officer of the Faculty (in paper/by email)

Change of UGIS supervisor among already appointed supervisors

• If you wish to reassign the role of UGIS supervisor among the already appointed supervisors, and your former UGIS supervisor will continue as your supervisor, please inform the doctoral programme's coordinator about the change

Addition/change of a member of the follow-up committee:

• A short freeform proposal for adding/changing a member of the follow-up committee
• Each party (the doctoral researcher and the supervisors) signs/approves by email the application
• The proposal is submitted to the Chief academic officer of the Faculty (in paper/by email)

Possible changes in the supervisors and the follow-up committee must be applied for as soon as they happen, however, before the thesis manuscript is delivered to the faculty.

(Significant) change in the research plan:

• The new research plan is submitted to the Chief academic officer of the Faculty (in paper/by email)
• Each party (the doctoral researcher and the supervisors) signs/approves by email the research plan/cover letter to it

Updating the Supervision plan:

If the composition of the supervisors and follow-up committee changes, the information should also be updated in the supervision plan at the latest at the next follow-up committee meeting:

• Supervision and study plan / update
