Evaluation dates and progress review committees

At the progress review, the review committee assesses the doctoral researcher's progress in research and studies based on their programme and fulfilment of the individual plan. Passing a progress review is the prerequisite for continuing doctoral studies.

First-year doctoral researchers are reviewed twice: one semester after matriculation and two semesters after matriculation. From the second year onward, the progress of the doctoral researcher is reviewed once per academic year, two semesters after the last progress review.
