Funding a doctoral level course

På svenska

Course leaders may continuously submit applications for funding of elective courses to the Research Studies Board.

After assessment of the application, the Research Studies Board can decide to finance elective courses according to the following standard amounts:

  • 1.5 credit elective course: a maximum of SEK 65.000
  • 3 credit elective course: a maximum of SEK 130.000

Please note that if funding is granted by the Research Studies Board, only the standard amount is paid out. Costs for remuneration to the course leader, coffee etc. are handled by the course leader.

The application process
