Starting a PhD can be both exciting and overwhelming. To help you get off to a smooth start, you can find a few practical resources on this page.

• Settling-in checklist – A handy overview of what you’ll need to arrange in your first weeks.
• First 100 days: 10 useful actions – A list of helpful steps to take early in your PhD, supported by a set of critical reading questions to sharpen your academic skills from the start.

To give you a clear overview of what to expect throughout your PhD, we’ve also created a timetable that outlines key actions and milestones from the beginning up to graduation. This can help you plan ahead and stay on track.

In addition, we advise you to get familiar with LUCRIS/Converis, which is the university’s research information system used to register and manage your PhD project. More information is available under the LUCRIS/Converis tab in the menu on the left.
