PhD training in general<\/strong><\/p>\n

The strategy<\/a> of the Faculty of Bio-sciences, Fisheries, and Economics (BFE) has since 2010 had a clear goal to improve the quality of the PhD training and reduce the time spent from admission to dissertation. I have initiated and conducted several sub-projects in collaboration with colleague professors and the skilled staff at the research and communication department at BFE (see here<\/a> example of analysis performed together with the administrative staff). After almost eight years of systematic work with administrative routines, requirements on the project description, and continuous development of the supplementary provisions for PhD at the BFE faculty<\/a>,\u00a0 as well as the establishment of High North Academy<\/a>, an entity providing courses on transferable\u00a0 skills, we register good progress (see image below, showing the development in the percentage of PhDs finished in 4 years at UiT (starting date of the PhD is shown on the x-axis), and this<\/a> analysis of the PhD training at BFE).<\/p>\n
