Individual study plan and ISP seminar at GPH
Within one month after the studies have started, the supervisor and student should submit the ISP to the doctoral educational administration at the Department of Global Public Health, for a first review by the Director of Doctoral Education.
Within three months a mandatory ISP seminar must have been held and the ISP should be approved by the Director of Doctoral Education. Since Fall 2024, an adjustment concerning the ISP seminar has been made by the Research and Doctoral Education Office in the steering document "Rules for doctoral education at Karolinska Institutet". In cases where the seminar cannot be conducted within the set 3-month period, the study plan can be established before the ISP seminar. The request should be submitted to the director of doctoral education who makes the decision.
The individual study plan should describe the scientific project, the courses and other learning activities planned. The ISP should also show how the student, within the research field of the specific project, will attain the intended learning outcomes of the doctoral education.
Submit the ISP
As soon as the studies has started, the doctoral student and the main supervisor should start working on the individual study plan.
Doctoral students admitted from 1 February 2021 must create their individual study plan in the digital ISP-system.
