Once you’ve reached the final phase of your doctoral journey, it’s time to have your portfolio reviewed.
This is necessary to do before submitting your final manuscript to the dissertation committee or uploading in Hora Finita. NKI students have their portfolio reviewed by the NKI supervisory committee.
The portfolio will be assessed based on the OOA trainingplan requirement, regardless of your start date.
Prior to 2021, portfolios were evaluated using different formats. Your portfolio doesn’t need to align 100% with what you initially planned at the beginning of your journey. The training plan serves as a blueprint, and throughout your trajectory, your plans may naturally evolve.
Please check the flowchart below to determine which portfolio assessment applies to you and where you can have your portfolio approved.
The educational requirements differ slightly between for PhD students working at the Amsterdam UMC and the NKI:
OOA educational requirements Amsterdam UMC
OOA educational requirements NKI
The remaining credits can be obtained by participating in amongst others, courses, giving education, activities, retreats, conferences and (work) discussions.
For PhD candidates defending their thesis at the VU, the portfolio is assessed through the PhD candidate tracking system, Hora Finita. Subsequently, you can also proceed with finalizing your promotion and uploading your manuscript through this system.
On the VU website are various guideline available (for the PhD candidate and the supervisor) regarding the portfolio assessment.
It’s the responsibility of your first supervisor to assess the activities you upload in Hora Finita based on the content of the activity. The overall assessment of the portfolio is conducted by the OOA Graduate School. We will verify if your portfolio meets the requirements of the OOA training plan.
