How to review a portfolio?

How do I review a Portfolio?

At the end of the PhD project, the PhD candidate requests the Graduate School to review the portfolio.

Before the portfolio can be reviewed, all training activities needs to be approved by the first co-promotor. Furthermore, the total numbers of hours spent on training activities has to meet the number of hours needed to obtain a certificate of the Graduate School.

After the first co-promotor approves a training activity, you will receive an email informing you about the approval.
