Thesis Director
Back
Starting the initial registration of the applicant, the Head of the Doctoral Commission, following the approval of the Dean, appoints a Thesis Director, responsible for the scientific follow-up of the student’s work. This director, generally proposed by the applicant, is chosen from among the tenured faculty members, unless otherwise specified by the President, and shall hold, at least, the academic rank of Associate Professor. He supervises the research conducted by the doctoral student and his thesis. The prior approval of the President of the Doctoral College is required for the co‐direction of the thesis if the nature of the work necessitates so. The co-director may be selected, if possible, from among the tenured faculty members or may be a teacher-researcher from outside USEK. He should hold, at least, the academic rank of Associate Professor.
The Thesis Director shall hold at least two meetings every semester with the doctoral student. At the end of each semester, the Thesis Director is required to present to the Head of the Doctoral Commission an evaluation report of the research conducted by the doctoral student under his supervision. The report on the state of the student’s progress is attached to the evaluation report of his supervisor.
A faculty cannot supervise more than four theses at the same time, unless otherwise previously stated by the President.
Any plan to change the Thesis Director shall be justified and communicated by the Head of the Doctoral Commission to both the Dean and the President of the Doctoral College for approval. (Rf. Change of Thesis Director Request Form in Doctoral Studies)
