The Individual Study Plan (ISP) and the annual follow-up

The current ISP-system will be replaced by Ladok ISP by September 1st, 2026.

Important dates and information

On the ISP in Ladok page you will find more information about the system. There you can also watch a recorded demo of the system and look at manuals. 

September 1

In September, the transfer to Ladok is expected to be complete and you will be able to start working with your ISPs in Ladok.

During the period June 18 – September 1

When the current ISP system has closed, no new individual study plans can be created for newly admitted doctoral students. 

One of our pilot departments, KBH, has created a word template that they have kindly shared. This document may be used for a newly admitted doctoral student who can then fill in all the information while the system support is closed and then use it as a basis when creating their new ISP in Ladok. This template is sent out to all doctoral education administrators at the departments, and you can also find it below under documents on this page. 

It is important to know that there will be e-mail notifications from Ladok while our robot migrates all the ISPs from the old to the new system. Please create a folder for these e-mail notifications and a rule that refers these emails to that folder, so that you are not disturbed by the notifications. 

Old ISPs that are now in the ISP system will be archived at KI in collaboration with the Archive and Registry. More information about this will follow.The Individual Study Plan (the ISP)

The individual study plan and progress in doctoral education must be followed up once a year, in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance.

The ISP is a digital tool for doctoral education and is written by the doctoral student together and in agreement with his/her supervisors. 

 

Don´t hesitate to contact Ingrid Smedberg (ingrid.smedberg@ki.se) if you have any questions about any of this.
