Mentoring Program

Each PhD thesis is supervised by two faculty members. The mentors cover different research areas to promote the inter-facultative education of the doctoral researchers. Regular consultations with the two supervisors allow both the mentors and the PhDs to continuously monitor success with reference to a formal supervisory agreement, which includes career development planning.  Once a year, the Thesis Committee Meeting must take place. The three and a half years of working towards a PhD are tightly structured with interdisciplinary education and the possibility of a cumulative PhD thesis, which foster an early sense of responsibility for the publication of data.
