Admission

You as the main supervisor must make sure that the new PhD candidate submits the application for admission to PhD in time. NB! There are certain deadlines that must be met. The candidate will not be entered into the Common Student System (No: FS – Felles Studentsystem) without this formal admission.

See page PhD candidate supervision

Mid-term evaluation

12-18 months after the candidate's admission to the PhD programme, the candidate is obliged to give a presentation which will be evaluated by the head of research group, main supervisor and an external representative. See routine description and evaluation form on the IV faculty's page PhD forms - IV.

Completion

Here is a check-list for you as main supervisor for a PhD candidate at EPT:

  1. Make sure that the thesis is worthy of defence
  2. Make sure that the candidate is informed about the process for the PhD completion and that the candidate gets in touch with EPT’s PhD contact person
  3. Recommend opponents for the defence (assessment committee) via EPT’s PhD contact person. Use the form "Appointment of assessment committee" available at PhD forms – IV. Follow the criterias described in section 14. “Appointment of an evaluation committee" in the document “Regulations concerning the philosophiae doctor degree (PhD) at NTNU with supplementary regulations for IV”, available at PhD forms – IV.
  4. When you receive the approval of the assessment committee via EPT’s PhD contact person, you must make the thesis available to the opponents
  5. Find a date for the thesis defence together with the opponents
  6. Notify EPT’s PhD contact person about the date for the thesis defence
