The departmental PhD study boards:
- Comprise of 1-5 representatives of the academic staff from the department in question
- Members are elected by the Faculty PhD Committee on the recommendation of the Head of the individual department
- Act as representatives for the scientific staff in the PhD Committee in evaluating candidates for admittance. Supervisor can in this context advise the PhD study board
- May be consulted on important academic issues, including individual cases, by the Faculty PhD Committee and the Head of the PhD School
It is possible to involve PhD students in the departmental PhD study board’s work when it does not concern individual personal cases.
