In Swedish
The Individual Curriculum
It is explicitly specified in the government regulations that each postgraduate student must have an individual curriculum (individuell studieplan). This curriculum should be formulated during the admission process. An individual curriculum has the form of an agreement between the student, the supervisor(s) and the head of department.
The individual curriculum is a very important document. It is intended to serve as guidelines in helping the student to plan his or her studies and research project. The curriculum is also of great help in assessing the progress of the student and in adapting the ambitions of the research project with respect to the available time.
The curriculum must be revised regularly, and at least once a year. More
frequent revision can be called for if, for example, a specific part of
the project has been completed or if serious difficulties have been
encountered in the project. The postgraduate student and the supervisor
each has the right to call for a revision of the individual curriculum
at any time. As part of the revision process the postgraduate student
and the supervisor inform the head of department (or representative) on
the progress made. The revision of the curriculum may result in an
updating of the written document which should be signed by the student
and the supervisor.
