- If certain requirements are met, such as a completed TSA after 4 years with >20 EC, financial thesis support is available. Aks the coordinator for more information.
- The table above is not exhaustive. If you expect to attend or participate in an activity that will allow you to 'earn' ECs, please contact the coordinator to discuss whether this is possible and how many ECs can be awarded.
- Once you have made a first draft of your TSA, please send it to the PhD Coordinator before uploading to MyPhD
