Instruction for main supervisors when your doctoral student has changed research subjects.
UKÄ (Swedish Higher Education Authority) has decided to create a new division of the research subjects used for reporting doctoral education. Please go to this webpage for instructions on how to handle this in the ISP system the next time your doctoral student is up for yearly follow-up or half-time review.
The current ISP system will be replaced by the ISP module in Ladok during 2026.
More information can be found on our webpage for the ISP Ladok Project.
