Interviews are moments of supervision used to monitor and evaluate the progress of a PhD candidate's PhD project during the research phase. Periodic interviews are automatically created by Hora Finita after the PhD candidate's registration has been approved.There may be interviews scheduled at the end of year 2, 3 and 4. Furthermore there is an introduction meeting as well as a go/no go meeting.

An exit interview is rolled out after graduation.

In order not to lose sight of the PhD student and/or to facilitate other types of processes, various interview cycles are used. To avoid losing sight of the progress of the PhD project, interviews can also be planned after PhD contract has expired.

Certain interviews have an accompanying result (go/no go) filled in by the PhD candidate's supervisor.

1. Navigate to the right PhD project

2. Click on the 'Milestones' button at the bottom of the page

Here is an overview of the interviews

1. You can add a new interview by using the 'New' button.

2. You only use the button 'Add cycle interviews' if the start date of a PhD track has changed. The milestone dates are automatically created based on the start date of a PhD track, but if this date changes, the interview dates will not be automatically updated. You can fix the dates by deleting all upcoming interviews, and clicking on the 'Add interview cycle' button. If an interview has already taken place, do not delete that interview!

3. If you want to delete an interview, select the interview and click on the 'Delete' button. It is possible to select and delete multiple interviews.

4. If you want to see a progress rapport, click the 'Report' button.

Before the interview takes place the PhD candidate will receive a reminder email about the upcoming interview. The email will contain information about the content and procedures of the interview.

Each interview has an deadline. A supervisor or Graduate School are allowed to adjust the deadline date of the Go / No Go interview. Once the interview has taken place, you cannot change the deadline. You will receive an reminder e-mail two weeks before the deadline.

Accompanying interviews are questionnaire that must be filled in, in order to pass the interview. Questionnaires can be found in the interview page to which they belong or under the 'Questionnaire' tab in the dashboard.

Reminders will be sent via email informing the supervisor or PhD candidate about upcoming questionnaires that they are required to fill in.

To accompany an interview Graduate Schools can request that a PhD candidate schedule an interview with the PhD supervisors. After a date has been set by the participants it can be filled in on the interview page.

Both PhD candidates and PhD supervisors can attach documents to an interview such as a TSP.
