The Training and Research phase

During this phase PhD students have to earn credits for accomplishing elective courses, for teaching activity, for research work and for publications. The recommended study plan is depicted by the figure below.

Teaching activity

The teaching activities of the doctoral students are specified by the department, the supervisor, and the student. Most of the time it consists of conducting laboratories or classroom practices for BSc and MSc courses, supervising project courses of undergraduate students, and helping in the tests and exams of the department.

Research work

Within the research activity, the consultation with the supervisor is recognized with credit points (preparation for and evaluation of the activity there). The majority of research credits recognizes research work but may also include conference/workshop participation, study trips, institute visits, etc.

Publications

All the publication credits can be earned only if the minimal publication requirements of the doctoral programs are met. For the 25 publication credit points earned in the "training and research phase", this means that half of the minimal publication requirements have to be met.

For the individual semesters the requirements are as follows:

  • The credits for "Publication 1" can be awarded if the student has any publications already published or at the end of the semester has at least one outline of an international conference or journal paper.
  • The credits for "Publication 2" can be awarded if the student has any publications already published or has at least one international conference or journal paper submitted by the end of the semester.
  • The credits for "Publication 3" can be awarded if the student has at least one international conference or journal paper published.
  • The credits for "Publication 4" can be awarded if the student has at least one international conference or journal paper published, and has at least one paper submitted to a journal indexed by WoS or Scopus. With this, the student has obtained at least half of the minimum publication scores required for the degree.
