In addition to the supervision plan, the doctoral student draws up a personal study plan in Sisu during the first year. The study plan must follow the degree structure of the student’s doctoral programme, and the exact content of the plan is agreed on with the supervisors. Especially the main supervisor is excepted to offer the doctoral student support in planning their studies. Go over the study plan with your doctoral student in the same meeting where you draw up the supervision plan.
In addition to making a Sisu study plan, it's recommendable to plant the entire research project in the My Thesis Project -section of Thessa. In the My Thesis Project -section, the doctora student can include information for example on the preliminary timetable of the doctoral research, planned conferences and publications, as well as any grants, scholarships or salaried periods received to fund the research project. Information on completed studies transfers automatically from Sisu to Thessa, so that the progress of studies can also be followed through a student's Thessa profile.
Study plans made at the start of studies are preliminary, and they can always be updated as studies progress and plans develop.
