Hora Finita and Training plan
Hora Finita is the PhD tracking system for PhD candidates at the Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc. The system tracks registration, agreements, training plan and thesis defense for PhD candidates.
Hora Finita registration
The registration of new PhD trajectories for VUmc PhD students in Hora Finita is initiated by AI&I. After we received your basic details from the Doctoral school and we started your Hora Finita registration, you are invited to enter additional information including your Training Plan (TP)(see information below), which you will draw up together with your (co)promotor.
After you have completed entering all of the information it will be assessed by each of the various stakeholders (Promotor, co-promotor, Research Institute, Deans Office etc.), with the final approval of the Rector Magnificus of the Vrije Universiteit.
Once your PhD Training Plan is approved you will get access to Hora Finita where you can view your PhD program and log your educational activities. Your PhD program will also be visible in the Hora Finita dashboard of your (co)promotor.
Please find extensive Hora Finita sytem manuals about every phase of your PhD project at this page.
Training plan
VUmc PhD candidates starting their PhD trajectory will have to indicate how they expect to gather 30 ECTS points (1 ECTS point - 28 hours) by fulfilling the mandatory program and choosing elective courses and activities. More information about the training plan you will find at the bottom of the PhD Plan that you can download here:
