Change of main supervisor

To apply for a change of main supervisor, you need to complete an application for change of main supervisor, and send it to the Graduate School.

 

Change of co-supervisor or addition of co-supervisors

The Graduate school requires that there is at least 1 co-supervisor attached to the project and a maximum of 3 co-supervisors. To add a new co-supervisor, please send in a statement of acceptance from the supervisor and a CV if they are not affiliated with SDU. The acceptens form can be found here

To remove a co-supervisor, please send an e-mail to the graduate school.

 

Supervisor's termination of Faculty employment

If a main supervisor terminates their employment at the Faculty, it is common practice that they cannot continue as the main supervisor, but can act as co-supervisor. If the PhD student has completed the majority of the PhD programme, however, it is possible to apply for permission to keep the person in question as main supervisor. It is essential that the Graduate School is contacted if a main supervisor terminates their employment at the Faculty.
