What is a PhD education?
A PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is the highest level of academic qualification you can achieve. The PhD program is a three-year research education.
The education includes a dissertation or artistic result based on independent work, relevant courses equivalent to six months of study, participation in national and international research environments, academic or artistical dissemination, a trial lecture and a public defence.
The most common way to enrol in a PhD programme is to be employed by the University for a PhD fellowship. It is also possible to apply for admission with other funding.
