Re: Annual Progress Report on PHD 2nd Year Candidate (Students Name....) For the PeriodMay 2012- September 2013.This is to confirm that the above named PHD student has continuously progressed through the second phase of his PHD programme. The candidate has progressed through the division of Project portfolio Management that will lead to strategic planning doctorate at (Institutional affiliation...) University.

It is with genuine enthusiasm that I am able to provide reference for (students name....). I have known (students name....) for the last one year since he enrolled for the PHD. During his first year of study, I managed to interact with him as I taught him some of already completed subjects in addition to being his supervisor during his work in first year of PHD study.

During his second year of doctorate study, (students name....) has confirmed that he has high ability to prepare on quality research as witnessed in his assessments. Currently, (students name....) has completed his assessments on Project portfolio Management during his second year study. As a result, he is preparing himself for the next stage of progress. (Students name....) has already completed his research in time as per the university standards. (students name....) can be best described as a perfectionist since in most of his work that he submitted to me was thoroughly researched, perfectly presented and proved to have a high capacity to think analytically providing persuasive argument. In light of the above, as his professor, I am convinced and satisfied that (students name....) should proceed with his PHD, hoping that he will continue to have the same spirit and continue with the research to successfully complete his studies.Yours sincerely,

Senior Lecturer in Strategic Planning and PHD Supervisor.
