The doctoral student shall present his/her progress in their doctoral project in the form of a research seminar and a written summary, to be assessed by at least one external expert who is not the doctoral student’s supervisor. The doctoral student shall be provided with feedback.

All departments and similar bodies at the Faculty of Science shall have written procedures for conducting half-time reviews. The half-time review may be replaced by a licentiate thesis and licentiate seminar, which shall be completed no later than six months after the halfway point in the study period.
