PhD studies
At the department, we offer doctoral education in computer science, where you can specialise in one of our many research areas.
A PhD programme comprises four years of full-time study and concludes with a PhD degree. Since almost all PhD students also participate in undergraduate teaching, the normal length of study is five years.
It is also possible to obtain a licentiate degree after half the time.
The department has around twenty PhD students, the majority of whom have an international background. Our goal is to provide our PhD students with the best possible education for successful careers in academia and society. In doing so, we also improve our research and our undergraduate education for the benefit of students, staff and partners – both nationally and globally.
Almost all of our PhD positions are externally funded and we announce them when new research funding has been granted.
