Supervision

Page Contents
Every third-cycle student is, according to national regulations, entitled to supervision throughout their studies, unless the Vice-Chancellor decides otherwise on the basis of Chapter 6, Section 30 of the Higher Education Ordinance.
At least two supervisors and one examiner are appointed for each research student. One of the supervisors is appointed as the main supervisor.
The main supervisor must be a professor, adjunct professor, associate professor with a merit focusing on academic excellence or an associate professor (docent) who is employed at BTH.
The main supervisor is, together with the examiner and the third-cycle student, responsible for specifying activities and educational elements in the individual study plan in order to ensure goal fulfillment in accordance with the requirements of the degree regulations.
Withdrawal of the right to supervision
Should a doctoral student significantly disregard their commitments under the individual study plan, the Vice-Chancellor may decide that the doctoral student is no longer entitled to supervision and other resources for the education. The process for this is set out in Regulations for third-cycle studies at BTH.
