Individual study plan in Ladok
This page contains information, manuals and guides for managing individual study plans (ISP) in the Ladok system.
Decision on ISPs in Ladok
Södertörn University has decided to manage doctoral students’ ISPs electronically, in Ladok, from the autumn of 2024. This decision applies to all newly admitted doctoral students. For the period 2024-2025, previously admitted doctoral students can choose to continue with the previous way of working.
Doctoral students who are not included in this transition to ISPs in Ladok should read the tab General syllabus, individual study plan and qualitative targets for licentiate and doctoral degrees

Completing an ISP in Ladok for the first time
The information below is for doctoral students who are going to fill in an ISP in Ladok for the first time.
1. Create a student SH-Account
You need to create a student SH-Account (unless you already have one). You can create a student SH-Account as soon as you are admitted in Ladok. As a doctoral student, you will have two accounts, one as a student and one as an employee.
It is important to use a private email address when you create your student account, because your SH email address will be linked to your employment. Instructions about creating a student account are found here External link, opens in new window..
(Please visit Infocenter External link, opens in new window. to create a student account if you do not have a Swedish personal ID number).
2. Create a “new version”
To start writing your individual study plan, you need to create a “new version” in Ladok. “New version” means that your ISP has been started. This step is done by your doctoral administrator at the academic school. The administrator is also responsible for linking you and your principal supervisor (and any other supervisors) to the same ISP.
