The head of the department of the subject/specialisation accepts doctoral students. Doctoral students with other funding than employment as doctoral student at Uppsala University, i.e. industry-based doctoral students, students with their own funds (such as scholarships), students employed at another higher education institution, part-time students, and licentiate students, are accepted by the Faculty Board on the recommendation of the Postgraduate Education Board.
Admission is decided after consultation with the supervisors at the department/division. Normally, the supervisors formulate the main structure of the research project in connection with the admission. An individual study plan with detailed planning is drawn up after the doctoral education has begun.
