NGSSC examination plan
All NGSSC graduate students are admitted to the program in connection to the start of the graduate studies. The figure below shows the planned NGSSCs PhD exams (according to the initial study plans), and also the actual examination until December 2005. The 6 students that have chosen to leave the program after the Licentiate exam are not accounted for in the graph, these students are instead listed in the second table below. Also, the 3 students which have chosen to leave the graduate studies without an exam are not accounted for in the graph.
