Doctoral school

• The PhD candidate needs an Amsterdam UMC / AMC personnel number for instance (1) to get an @amsterdamumc.nl email address, (2) to be able to work in the view environment, (3) to get access to the University Library and (4) to register for Doctoral School courses
• Make sure that the external PhD candidate is registered with the Amsterdam UMC Doctoral School
• When it is not possible for the external PhD candidate to be physically present in the AMC, please contact the ICT-service desk to request an Amsterdam UMC email address for the external PhD candidate (see additional contact details here below):
  Phone: +31(0)205663011 
  Location: D0-208 (AMC) Monday-Friday from 7.30 - 17.00
• The external PhD candidate should fill in a PhD Plan together with the (co-)supervisors. However, if the external PhD candidate is following a trajectory at Sanquin, NKI/AvL or another institution that has its own similar document, they are exempted to fill in the PhD Plan. In this case, the external PhD candidate should let us (=The Doctoral School) know this.
• The PhD plan will also be discussed in the PhD plan meeting with the Doctoral School PhD advisor 
• 1.5 years after the start date, the external PhD candidate should follow the PhD Progress & Consultation procedure, together with the (co-)supervisors. However, if the external PhD candidate is following a trajectory at Sanquin or at NKI/AvL, (s)he is probably already involved in a local PhD monitoring system. Since we do not want PhD candidates to be engaged in redundant activities, our PhD Progress & Consultation procedure is not applicable to them. They should merely send us a copy of their Progress Report and report of the meeting with the PI's, instead

Note: According to the UvA Doctorate Regulations, article 13.3, PhD candidates who prepared their thesis fully outside the UvA, without supervision by the intended supervisor(s) and co-supervisor(s) as shown by their absence from authorship on the original papers in the thesis, are not eligible for admission to the doctorate at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Amsterdam.
