The monitoring of the PhD student is carried out by the Academic Committee.
In the Verifica del Título a procedure has been established for the assignment of the tutor and thesis supervisor of the doctoral student, which is based on the following criteria:
- a) Preference of the doctoral student in both cases.
- b) Assignment by the Committee of the tutor whose research activity is most in line with the preferences expressed by the PhD student. The PhD student must raise this issue in the first month of the doctoral programme, and will be assigned a tutor within an additional period of one month.
- c) Subsequent assignment of the supervisor (who may be the same person, or may be proposed by the tutor or by the PhD student, after hearing the tutor), within a maximum period of six months from the admission of the PhD student to the programme.
Moreover, the Verifica also provides for the monitoring of the Research Plan and the activity document of each PhD student. These plans will be supervised by the director and/or the student's tutor, as well as by the Programme's Academic Committee.
