Profile of Good Promotership

Promoters and co-promoters in the Doctoral School subscribe to the profile of good promotership as formulated by the university and they assume all obligations that follow from it.

In particularly, this means that the promoter will provide sufficient time and means for the PhD student to successfully complete the doctoral research and training within a reasonable time. The target for PhD completion is 4 year.
