Summer holiday 2024 at the Graduate School
The Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences is not fully staffed during July and August. Consequently, the following changes apply:
Processing time
Please expect extended processing times between 1 July and mid-August.
Enrolment applications
We are unable to process enrolment applications between 15 July and 19 July, both days included.
If you need your enrolment certificate to be issued in the above period, you must submit your enrolment application no later than Monday 17 June 2024.
From 19 July until 2 August, applicants may expect a prolonged case-handling time for enrolment applications.
Approval of an assessment committee
Please note that The Graduate School will not be able to send your assessment committee for approval during the period 15 July to 2 August.
Submission of PhD thesis
If you submit your thesis from 1 May to 31 July, your assessment committee will have 3 months to assess your thesis. The Ministerial Order on the PhD programme states that July is not included in the assessment period. The Graduate School will thus add 1 month to the assessment committee’s deadline during the entire month of July.
The Graduate School will not be able to screen PhD theses for duplicate text from 18 July to 26 July. You are welcome to submit your thesis during the period, but it will not be screened and sent to the assessment committee until after 5 August.
During July there might be a delay in the case handling due to holiday. This includes general questions, case handling involving appointment of assessment committee, screening for duplicate text and handling of cases in the Committee on Duplicate Text Screening if duplicate text is identified.
Phone hours in July
Monday to Thursday: 12.30-15.00, Friday: 10.00 – 12.00.
