Digital support in Ladok for individual study plans for doctoral studies (ISP)

In June 2022, the Ladok Consortium decided to develop and implement digital support for individual study plans (ISP) in Ladok. In April 2023, the Vice-Chancellor decided (UFV 2021/1826) that Uppsala University's focus is to use the system support for individual study plans that Ladok will provide.

Timetable

The project began in September 2023 and ended in March 2025.

Goals and purpose

The purpose of this project was to enable the implementation of the Ladok ISP support in the disciplinary domains at Uppsala University with the goal of having a comprehensive and uniform digital support system for managing individual study plans for all doctoral students, in accordance with the requirements of the Higher Education Ordinance and the guidelines and needs of the organisation.

A uniform digital support system contributes to:

• The annual revision and follow-up of individual study plans will be improved, for example, by automatic reminders from the system and the circulation of new versions.
• Material will be available for monitoring and ongoing quality assurance and enhancement.
• The number of paper forms administered by the departments in connection with doctoral studies will be minimised.
• The efficient and fair management of individual study plans in doctoral studies will be promoted.
