The Training and Supervision Agreement (TSA) is a standard contract between the PhD candidate and the supervisory team. It must be approved by the relevant PhD programme coordinator. It ensures your right to proper supervision and training throughout your PhD.

The TSA includes

• The name of your PhD programme.
• The names of your supervisory team and mentor(s).
• The division of supervisory tasks and meeting frequency.
• Your individual training plan, outlining planned thematic and general training, and research-related meetings (see the form for requirements).

Your training plan is dynamic and may be adjusted as your PhD progresses, for example, after your Annual PhD Progress Meetings.

Upload your TSA to MyPhD

According to Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ regulations, you must upload the completed TSA to MyPhD within three months of starting your PhD. Approval from all members of your supervisory team, PhD programme coordinator, and a faculty representative is required via the system. They will be notified by email once the form is uploaded. Ensure the form is completed in consultation with your supervisory team and PhD programme coordinator before submission

Courses do not need to be registered in MyPhD

Please note that during your PhD journey, you do not need to register the courses you have completed in MyPhD. While MyPhD includes a section for course registrationthe courses you enter  are not reviewed by anyone. You may enter courses in the system for your own records, if you wish, or if your supervisors would like to see them registered in the system. We recommend that you save your course list and certificates digitally, so you can submit them to your PhD programme coordinator when applying for the Training Certificate.
