Before the end of the first year, the doctoral student must prepare and submit the Research Plan according to the timeline set by the Doctoral School and through the RAPID platform. The plan must include at least the methodology to be used, the goals to be achieved, the resources, and the timeline.

This plan may be improved and detailed throughout the student’s time in the program and must be endorsed by the supervisor and the tutor.

Each academic year, the doctoral student must report both progress on the Research Plan and any changes or modifications resulting from ongoing work.

The Doctoral School website (Administrative Information > Guides and Forms > Academic Forms) provides, among other documents, the Research Plan form.
