Upon completion of at least two years´ course work and research as a graduate student, a Ph.D. candidate must demonstrate original and truthful contributions to his or her specific field of knowledge within a frame of academic excellence. The doctoral work of the candidate should be presented in a thesis or dissertation prepared under the supervision of a director or a tutor, and also reviewed by a Doctoral Committee. This Committee should be generally composed of external examiners (which are external to the program), and at least one of them should also be external to the university or institution.
