Education for PhD students
Postgraduate education
Continuous education is an essential part of PhD studies, and students can take a wide range of courses in agreement with their supervisor and director of studies. The number of course credits required for a licentiate or doctoral degree is determined by the study plans for each subject; the courses that the students must follow are decided in the individual study plan.
PhD Education in your Department
The PhD Biology School brings together students across three Deaprtments. Each Department has its own guidlines and regulations for PhD student education. Find out relevant information for your own Department via the links below:
