Study Plan

The doctoral student is required to submit a study plan, choosing it from among those annually proposed in the Manifesto of Studies. Or, for justified reasons, s/he may submit an individual study plan. The study plan must be approved by the tutor/advisor and submitted for formal verification to the Secretariat. Individual study plans are approved by the Executive Committee. 

Doctoral students are required to acquire 15 credits during the first two academic years, with a required minimum of 6 credits during the first year. 
Each educational activity, if successfully completed, gives the student a total of 3 credits.

The 15 required credits must be acquired by passing:

• 3 courses from ICT doctoral courses (list of available courses)
• Research Methodology course
• 1 freely chosen course: doctoral/ M.Sc. course or Summer/Winter School. These courses can be offered externally to the ICT School as well.
• “Academic Writing for Science and Engineering” courses do not give any credits. However, attendance on such courses is mandatory.

No more than one course offered by EIT Digital can have its credits been recognized.

All credits are acquired upon approval by the PhD student’s tutor/advisor.

Courses must be followed after enrolment in the Ph.D. Programme. Exceptions may be approved by the Executive Committee.

Courses that have contributed to other degrees and online course that the student has completed do not apply.
