Heads of PhD Programme
Each department at the Faculty of Social Sciences has appointed a Head of PhD Programme. Heads of PhD Programmes are available to assist PhD students with advice and information regarding all aspects of the PhD Programme.
The main responsibilities of the Heads of PhD Programme are:
- To promote the well-being of PhD students. This includes onboarding, providing information about the framework of the PhD programme, and to facilitate an engaged academic PhD environment in the department.
- To conduct Employee Development Interviews (MUS) with PhD students, approve regular assessment reports, and facilitate career advice.
- To serve as an advisory body to the head of the PhD School, and to facilitate communication and dialogue between PhD students, PhD management and PhD administration on departmental and faculty level.
The Heads of the PhD Programme meet with the Head of the PhD School approximately every second month.
