Completing elements in your training component

The training component can include formal courses from the UiB (or other educational institutions) course catalogue and special curriculum activities. Examples include winter and summer schools, knowledge presentation courses, national and international research courses. 

When you complete formal courses, they should appear in your Studentweb education plan without any actions from your part. However, if you have completed ECTS rewarding activites outside of the course catalogue (presentations at international conferences, winter/summer schools), you must submit documentation confiriming your participation to your PhD coordinator:
