Students mobility, is it possible?

During ORPHEUS conference in Aarhus 2009, representatives of 42 institutions from 26 European countries answered questionnaire on organisation of PhD studies, conditions for enrolment into studies, and prerequisites for obtaining PhD. According to answers, PhD programmes at 34 (83%) institutions are combination of research for the PhD thesis and organised courses which students can choose according to their wishes and needs. Institutions have proposed number of ECTS credits that students have to accumulate, and proposed number of articles that students have to publish before obtaining PhD. Prerequisite for enrolment into PhD study is Master (3+2), or MD degree. Those requirements are harmonised which make mobility of students possible. Conditions that make mobility of students impossible or hard possible are: to sign up for PhD study students must have supervisor/ mentor for PhD thesis at 31 (74%), scientific project at 32 (76%), and prepare periodical reports of work at 26 (62%) of institutions. All those mean that student’s mobility depends on supervisor. Student should have agreements of supervisor and employer for enrolment into course or research work at the other institution. Mobility of student will be support by supervisor and employer only if course or research work is related to scientific project of supervisor, and only in that case employer will give positive assess of student’s work. Student also should ensure funds for mobility. Supervisor must be person involved into international project. In that case student’s mobility would be part of research project with ensured funds for it.
