Welcome to this e-course for PhD supervisors!

The intention of this web course is to give you as a supervisor an overview of rules and structures in the PhD education at UiB. Upon completion of this course you should know the main frames and elements of the PhD education at UiB.

The structure of this course

The course will start off with a brief explanation of the central documents in the PhD education: the PhD regulations, the PhD programme descriptions of the Faculty and the detailed guidelines for specific issues. The course will then move on to explain the responsibilities you have as a supervisor, in addition to providing an overview of applicable guidelines for ethics and integrity. After that, the course will deal with the training itself; the admission process, the training component and challenges that may occur. Finally the course will give you the necessary information on submission, assessment and public defence.
