Overall Study Plan Term Content
In Overall Study Plan, describe the approach to your research and
studies in their doctoral degree programme.
You propose the plan in cooperation with your supervisor, who then
approves of the plan. In addition, the plan must also be approved by the Doctoral
Board of the programme. Both your supervisor and the Doctoral Board can comment
on your plan.
In the event of a major change in your studies, the plan can be further
altered. However, such a change requires re-approval by both the supervisor and
the board.
In Term Content, you are expected to describe in detail what you are
planning on pursuing during the given term.
The Term Content that you propose for the ISP is approved by the
supervisor, and they can also comment on your stated goals.
Based on the complete data and your actual performance, your supervisor
will evaluate each term of your studies. In addition, the Doctoral Board will review
the current progress of your ISP at least once a year.
Unsatisfactory progress of the ISP may lead to the withdrawal of the
scholarship for full-time students in doctoral degree programmes. Failure to meet
the ISP requirements may result in termination of studies.

Term Content Feedback Completed ISP and Its Evaluation
At the end of the term, you can complete the Term Content
feedback for the given semester.
This way of communicating with your supervisor and Doctoral Board is
usually used if the given term did not live up to your expectations.
If you have deviated from the previously agreed-upon term content, state
in detail the reasons for not meeting the ISP requirements. In addition, you can
also suggest when and how are you planning on addressing the goals currently not
met.
The completed agenda Ph.D. Individual Study Plan and its
evaluation currently contains:
 the plan of your entire studies and its approval by your supervisor
and the Doctoral Board,
 the contents of each of your terms and their approval by your
supervisor,
 your feedback on each term,
 the evaluation of each term by your supervisor,
 the evaluation by the Doctoral Board at least once a year.
In addition, this agenda also displays also an overview of all courses studied,
publication information, and data on completed internships and studies abroad.
