The Faculty PhD Committee (FPC)
The Faculty PhD Committee (FPC) of the FHML advises the Board about the broad domain of PhD related issues. The committee is also a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experiences and the discussion of relevant developments and operational issues within and between Schools/Institutes.
Besides general PhD related issues, the FPC has attention for:
Monitoring of PhD students (via PhD TRACK)
Supervision of PhD students (supervision)
Education for PhD students
The rules of procedure of the FPC.
The FPC meets every six weeks. For PhD related issues that should be discussed in the FPC, you can contact the FPC members directly or send an email to FPC-FHML[at]maastrichtuniversity[dot]nl.
