6 Month Q&A: How to Prepare for the Go/No Go Interview

To successfully complete your PhD, you and your supervisors need to closely monitor your progress. You will meet regularly with them to discuss your work. Next to these you are also expected to schedule regular R&O meetings (after 6 months, at the end of year 1, 2, and 3, and 6 months before the end of your trajectory). During these meetings you will discuss your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your Training and Supervision Plan (TSP). 

The meeting at the end of year 1 is also a go/no-go interview. Apart from the aim to ‘get’ the ‘go’, your preparation for this interview is also a time in which you reflect on your achievements so far, current challenges, and future plans for your project. During this workshop and Q&A, we will inform you about the practicalities of these evaluation moments, what you need to submit in advance, and how best to prepare for these meetings. Staff members and experienced PhDs from the Faculty will answer your questions and provide you with important information, tips and advice. 

This session is compulsory for all first-year PhD candidates.
