Doctoral studies

Studies at the research level (Third cycle) lead to a Licentiate degree 120 HEC (4 terms) and/or a Doctoral degree 240 HEC (8 terms).

There are no tuition fees at Swedish universities, but students must show evidence of funding sufficient to meet the cost of living during the period of study. The Departments offers a limited number of studentships for doctoral students but does not offer any grants or scholarships to visiting students.

Only students who have funding for the equivalent of four years full time study will be admitted into a doctoral programme; funding is normally obtained through a Department studentship. Department studentships in various subjects are normally announced once a year.
