Doctoral education

Yearly follow-up of doctoral students

Doctoral students at Aalto University answer a follow-up survey of the progress of their doctoral studies and research yearly.

All doctoral students are able to check the status of their progress when they answer the yearly follow-up survey. Some doctoral programmes or research fields also organise midterm reviews or advisory boards for their doctoral students to follow and support their progress.

In addition to following the progress of doctoral students, the purpose of the yearly follow-up is to offer them support and collect statistical information on general level to develop the support for doctoral students.

While answering the survey and based on their answers doctoral students get instructions and links for further information which are tailored to their situation. Doctoral students may also request to be contacted personally at the end of the survey.
