Progress Report

Progress in the PhD program and the research project is documented in the annual Progress Report Progress Report. Art.7 Section 3 (GCB Promotion Regulations) Doctoral candidates keep a study record on the progress of their doctoral studies; this is submitted once a year to the Thesis Committee and must be approved by the mentor. The GCB application date (also the official GCB registration date) is the reference date for the submission of progress reports; i.e., the first progress report is due one year after application to the GCB. Application dates are one of the three following dates: April 15, August 15, or December 15 The student who writes the progress report is responsible for sending the progress report directly to their mentor. The student will also pre-fill with known information (name, report period, mentor name) the Evaluation of progress report form. When the student emails the progress report with the evaluation of progress report form to the mentor, they must include the GCB in copy, using the info.gcb@unibe email address. Progress Reports are expected to be submitted beginning one month prior to the application anniversary date up until the application anniversary date, regardless whether you receive a reminder or not. Mentors use the pre-filled evaluation form to record their evaluation of the progress report. They send the completed form to the GCB coordinator at info.gcb@unibe.ch.
