Hora Finita registration
The registration in Hora Finita for new PhD trajectories for VUmc PhD candidates is initiated by the Doctoral School upon registration by the Doctoral School. Once you are registered in Hora Finita, you will receive an email with a link to access this registration.
Once registered with the Doctoral School as a PhD candidate within AGEM, the AGEM Hora Finita key user is automatically informed and you are invited to complete your registation and send in your training plan (the AGEM Hora Finita key user will send you a format in excel).
After you completed your details of your PhD in the Hora Finita registation, it will be assessed by all the various actors involved (promotor, co-promotor, research institute, Deans office etc.) with the final approval of the Rector Magnificus of the Vrije Universiteit.
Once every actor approved your PhD details, the registration is converted to a PhD program and you will get access to Hora Finita and track and log your education activities. Furthermore, your PhD trajectory will be visible in the HF dashboard of your promotor.
