Co-supervisor

You can expect your co-supervisor to:

1. Participate in planning your research project and the training component, which is necessary for your admission and enrolment as a PhD candidate.
   
2. Supervise you in connection with your research project.
3. Keep updated on the progress of your work and be present at (at least) quarterly supervisory team meetings.
4. Provide quality advice concerning your research work, consider which hypotheses and methods may be suitable, and provide you with feedback on written texts as they develop. This is to ensure that you are able to complete the thesis within the normal timeframe, which is three years for PhD studies.
5. Improve the effective supervision of your work by contributing a second opinion or additional areas of expertise, if the main supervisor considers it desirable.
6. Provide for continuity of supervision in the event of the absence or departure of the main supervisor. Arrange (in consultation with the main supervisor and the department) for a replacement in the event of his or her parallel absence with the main supervisor.
   
7. Take part in your midway evaluation.
