After accepting a PhD stipend

This page is only relevant if you have already been offered and has accepted a PhD stipend. If not you should go to PhD calls page .

If you have been offered a PhD stipend (or in case you don't need a stipend because you have funding from other sources), then you must enroll as a PhD student at the PhD school of the Faculty of Sciences . This is done through an online system called PhD-planner. The PhD secretary  Nina Weisse   will set you up in the system.

In PhD-planner you should, in collaboration with you future supervisor, draft a plan of your PhD studies. It is not expected that you can supply all information about your PhD at this point. A final PhD plan is expected only a few months after you have begun your PhD studies.

When all this is done and approved, then you are ready to become a PhD student at our department!

This includes corrections of content, misspellings or change of layout. However, minor changes in layout required for publication of the thesis and replacement of an unpublished manuscript with an unaltered published article is allowed.

Printing the thesis

PhD planner - new admin system

On 4 March 2021, all handling of PhD programmes for PhD students at Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology and Department of Pharmacy will be transferred to a new administrative system, PhD Planner. 

What does this mean for you? For you as a PhD student, this means that you have to handle a number of things in PhD Planner that you currently do by email or via an electronic form.

You must handle the following issues in PhD Planner from 4 March 2021:

• Registration of maternity/paternity leave and long-term illness as well as applications for part-time PhD programme, leaves of absence, extension of enrolment and changes in your supervisor group
• Registration and approval of external courses and change of environment
• Nominating your assessment committee
• Handing in your thesis

If it is necessary that your principal supervisor approves one of your applications, he or she must approve directly in PhD Planner. Therefore, you no longer need to obtain approval by email or via a physical form with signature.
