About the programme
The PhD programme consists of mainly active research work under supervision, where the doctoral candidate normally collaborates with supervisors and other researchers. The programme has a training component where the candidate through courses, seminars and colloquia will get the professional and methodical training that is necessary, both for working on the thesis, but also to be able to convey and present own research.
