Document of Activities of the PhD student

The PhD student's activities document is the individualized record to monitor and control their activities within the program. The Thesis Director and the tutor will review this document. The Academic Committee will evaluate it annually. At the UCM, support will be provided electronically using the RAPI2 web application. The PhD student must record the activities to be carried out each academic year, related to their programme, during their stay in the PhD programme.

Research Plan

Before the end of the first year, the PhD student will draw up a research plan that will include at least the methodology to be used and the objectives to be achieved, as well as the means and time planning to achieve them. This plan may be improved and detailed throughout your stay in the programme and must be endorsed by the Director and the tutor.

Annually the Academic Committee of the programme will evaluate the research plan and the document of activities together with the reports to be issued by the Director and the tutor to this end. In the event that the Academic Committee detects significant deficiencies, it may request that the PhD student submit a new research plan within six months: For this purpose, it will be a prerequisite that the student carries out the required enrolment. In the event that the weaknesses remain, the Academic Committee must issue a reasoned report and the PhD student will be permanently withdraw from the programme.
