PhD management system

growing higher education
Research has become increasingly more accessible, thereby growing the knowledge economy and ascending the number of highly educated people. As a result, the labor market expects their candidates to have a greater level of skill. This has in turn affected the number of students choosing higher education and by default the amount of people wanting to complete a doctorate. Courses for higher education are under great pressure because of this development. Funding mass education is a problem for many governments and it is also increasingly difficult to support all students individually. This inevitably affects the quality of education and research.

student and research at the center of attention
People^xs has developed a system especially for universities to manage the PhD process. The PhD management system brings the focus of the doctorate back to a personal level. It simplifies the administration and organization of the PhD and automates tasks where needed. Thus, mentors and supervisors can engage again in what really matters: the students and their research.

overview and insight
People^xs’ PhD management system grants insight in ongoing PhD research, organizes research that has yet to start and monitors the quality of research in general. Staff and PhD students’ details, appointments, research plans and status overviews are available in one central location with many mundane tasks automatically done by the system. Thanks to the many reporting possibilities you are always kept up-to-date and informed and can easily find information about performance and progress.

everyone involved
The system ensures that stakeholders have access to relevant information and are made aware of all the important activities and deadlines. Communication is regulated via email and integrated self-service portals. When logged in, the PhD students can formulate research proposals and goals, and supervisors can choose to evaluate and approve them. Administrative processes such as leave requests (sick leave and extensions), workflows, templates and data-fields can be adjusted to suit your needs.
