Required courses
The Faculty Board is responsible for ensuring that third-cycle students receive a good introduction and are given access to relevant information about rules and procedures.
Third-cycle students who teach first- or second-cycle courses must also have completed introductory training in teaching and learning in higher education, or have acquired the equivalent knowledge in some other way.
Two courses are compulsory for all doctoral students at the Faculty of Science, see below.
