The Research School in Medical Science and other doctoral level courses
Research School in Medical Science
Upon admission to the doctoral programme, all students are admitted to the Research School in Medical Science, which comprises 13.5 credits. Students are allocated a place at the next research school that starts within a few months to a maximum of one year after admission. The research school is offered four times a year with 40 places per round. The language of instruction is English. The research school comprises nine course weeks spread out over approximately six months.
Please note that participation in the research school is compulsory and requires 100% attendance. Valid reasons for absence are illness and parental leave. If a PhD student fails to attend the courses without a valid reason, the supervisor will be charged a fee of SEK 10,000 per missed course as decided by FUN. A fee of 10,000 SEK will also be charged the supervisor if the PhD student wants to take more than one specialization in Applied Statistics II or if the PhD student fails a PhD course/module that must be retaken.
