Doctoral studies

Faculty of Social Sciences

Doctoral studies (PhD) is the highest formal education available. It provides training to become an independent and critically minded researcher, and prepares for work with research and development issues inside or outside the university.

About doctoral studies

Doctoral studies involves a total of four years of full-time study, forming a total of 240 ECTS credits. A programme consists of both courses and thesis, of which the doctoral thesis is to account for at least 120 credits. At the Faculty of Social Sciences you can get a PhD degree in twelve different disciplines.

Admitted doctoral students normally get a salaried position. This means that they will be employed as staff members and will get a salary whilst undertaking the doctoral studies. In return, the doctoral student often provides some departmental or teaching duties.

Admission to the doctoral studies requires one year of studies at the advanced level, and normally a total of three semesters of study of the discipline in question, including a half-semester thesis. The doctoral studies start in September.

All vacant positions for doctoral students are publicly announced. Applications are accepted only following a vacancy announcement. The application procedures vary from one department to another - refer to the doctoral studies contacts at this site for further details.

PhD vacancies - lu.se

Thesis work and courses

The doctoral thesis should be based on independent research and should be of a high scholarly standard. The thesis can take the form of a monograph or a compilation thesis in which different articles are gathered, together with a summarising chapter.

All doctoral students will be appointed a main supervisor and an assistant supervisor. The main supervisor and the assistant supervisor have the task of helping the doctoral student move the work forward from the idea stage to the finalised manuscript.

The course component includes methodology courses as well as thematic courses, chosen for their relevance to the thesis work. Courses are offered both at the departments and at faculty level. Doctoral students are also encouraged to take courses at other universities, in Sweden or abroad.

Doctoral studies – an overview

As a doctoral student in the Faculty of Science, you will study in an attractive, international and competitive environment where education and research are intertwined.

Scope of the programme – two or four years

Third-cycle education can comprise either two or four years of full-time studies and lead to two different degrees:

• Licentiate degree consisting of 120 credits, equivalent to two years of full-time studies. The Licentiate degree is usually a milestone on the way to a doctoral degree. 
• Doctoral degree consisting of 240 credits, equivalent to four years of full-time studies. Almost all doctoral students at the Faculty of Science have a doctoral degree as their final goal.

You are admitted to a specific subject and follow two plans

You are admitted to one of the faculty's more than 20 third-cycle subject areas at one of the faculty's departments. During the programme, you follow two study plans:

• General syllabus for your programme. The syllabus describes the goals you need to achieve in order to graduate.
• Individual study plan specific to your studies. The plan describes, among other things, the parts that are included in your education (for example, various courses, seminars and conferences).

Components of the programme

Your programme includes, among other things:

• Courses. For example, you will take an introductory course at your department, an introductory course at the faculty and a course in research ethics.
• Seminars and conferences.
• Participation in one or more graduate schools on different themes. Graduate schools offer courses, workshops, seminars and networking opportunities, among other things.
• Work on your licentiate thesis (minimum 60 credits) or doctoral thesis (minimum 120 credits). You will spend about half of your studies on this.
• Presenting and defending your licentiate thesis or doctoral thesis at a public seminar. The licentiate thesis is presented at a licentiate seminar and the doctoral thesis is presented at a doctoral defence seminar.

What you will learn during the programme

During the programme you will learn, among other things, to:

• Solve research problems independently.
• Collaborate with others to understand and solve global societal problems in a sustainable way.
• Think both analytically and critically.
• Make ethically conscious research choices.

Once you have completed all parts of your programme, you apply for a degree certificate. If you earn a doctoral degree, you can participate in the doctoral degree conferment ceremony, which is the ceremonial highlight of the academic year.

Labour market

The labour market for science graduates is broad. For example, you can work as a researcher, a specialist in a particular field, or in a broader position.

Quality of education and student influence

The Faculty of Science works continuously to ensure and develop the quality of third-cycle education through, among other things, student influence and course evaluations.

Quality of education

As a doctoral student, you are represented by the Science Doctoral Student Council (NDR), which participates in the various bodies of the faculty and departments, such as boards and committees.

Responsibilities and organisation of third-cycle education

• Your supervisors are responsible for guiding and supporting you through your programme.
• The head of your department is responsible for your employment and work environment.
• The director of studies at your department is responsible for coordinating the third-cycle subject area.
• The faculty's Research Programmes Board is responsible for ensuring high quality in all third-cycle subjects.
• The University's Research Programmes Board is responsible for overall strategic issues relating to third-cycle education.

If you have questions about how third-cycle education is organised at the Faculty of Science, you are welcome to contact Aleksandra Popovic, education coordinator at the faculty office.

Copies and template

Your thesis must be printed in at least 50 copies (paid for by your department) and designed according to Lund University's graphic profile. Media-Tryck offers both a thesis template and a course on how to prepare your thesis for printing.

Support for doctoral students on the Media-Tryck website

ISBN for your thesis

Before you send your doctoral thesis to print it will need a unique ID. This is called International Standard Book Number (ISBN), and is usually printed on the first page of the doctoral thesis. You can obtain an ISBN through the library.

ISBN for a doctoral thesis (science-library.lu.se)

Announcement and distribution of your thesis

You must announce and distribute your doctoral thesis no later than three weeks and three working days before your defence.

How to announce and distribute your thesis:

• Register your thesis electronically in the Lund University's research information system, LUCRIS. Support on how to register your thesis in LUCRIS (lub.lu.se)
• Submit three printed copies to the reception at the Lund University Library (UB) in Lund. Make sure you get a receipt confirming that you have submitted the copies.
• Submit the receipt from the Lund University Library and two printed copies to Constance Holmbäck, administrator at the faculty office ( Astronomihuset (Astronomy building) on Sölvegatan 27).

The faculty office will then announce your thesis defence in the University's thesis defence calendar.

Contact Constance Holmbäck if you have questions about the doctoral thesis defence.

Licentiate degree

The licentiate degree comprises 120 credits, equivalent to two years of full-time studies. The licentiate degree is usually a milestone on the way to a doctoral degree (see your individual study plan). 

Requirements

To be awarded a licentiate degree, you must have successfully defended your licentiate thesis at a licentiate seminar and completed the courses and components included in your programme.

Degree certificate

Apply for a degree certificate (lunduniversity.lu.se)

Doctoral degree

The doctoral degree comprises 240 credits, equivalent to four years of full-time studies. Almost all doctoral students at the Faculty of Science have the doctoral degree as their final goal.

In order to be awarded a doctoral degree, you must have successfully defended your doctoral thesis at a public defence and completed the courses and components included in your programme.

Doctoral degree conferment ceremony

About the ceremony.

In a solemn ceremony in Lund Cathedral, the doctoral students who completed their doctoral studies in the past year and successfully defended their doctoral theses will have their degrees conferred. The ceremony is usually held on the last Friday in May each year.

Ring and laurel wreath

As a doctoral student at the Faculty of Science, you wear a ring and a laurel wreath during the ceremony. You wear these regardless of whether your degree certificate says Doctor of Philosophy or Doctor of Technology (in some cases, the degree may be changed to Doctor of Technology).

At other faculties, such as the Faculty of Engineering, doctoral students wear a ring and a hat during the ceremony. This means that some doctoral students at the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Physics and the Centre for Mathematical Sciences will wear a ring and a laurel wreath, while others will wear a ring and a hat. This is due to the fact that the doctoral students are admitted to different faculties and thus have different traditions.

Prepare for the ceremony

If you want to resume your studies

If you would like to resume your studies, you need to reapply for a doctoral studentship.

Extension due to student union activities

The assignment as doctoral student representative.

As a doctoral student, you have the opportunity to get involved in student union work and thus influence third-cycle education and the situation of doctoral students. Within the Faculty of Science, doctoral students are organised through the Science Doctoral Student Council (NDR), which is one of several doctoral councils within Lund's Doctoral Student Union.

The Science Doctoral Student Council (NDR) appoints doctoral student representatives to decision-making and preparatory bodies at both faculty and department level. If you are interested in becoming a doctoral student representative, please contact the council, ndr [at] ldk [dot] lu [dot] se .

Lund Doctoral Student Union (lundsdoctoralstudentunion.com)

Extension of study period and employment

In order to compensate for the time you spend on your assignment as a doctoral student representative, you need to apply for an extension of your study period and employment.

You apply for an extension using the form below. Remember to attach minutes or other documentation that proves your contributions to the bodies.

Form to request an extension – in Swedish only (PDF, 163 kB, new tab)

Assignments and scope in faculty bodies

Below you can see the approximate scope of assignments in faculty-level bodies.

• Faculty Board: 24 hours per year.
• Presiding Committee: 60 hours per year.
• Management Council: 60 hours per year. For the Management Council, you will only get an extension corresponding to the actual meeting time as the same issues are dealt with in the Presiding Committee.
• Academic Appointments Board: 80 hours per year.
• Research Programmes Board: 20 hours per year.
• Research Board: 12 hours per year.
• Scholarship Committee (travel and research grants): 6 hours per year.
• Equal Opportunities Committee: 12 hours per year.
• Associate Professorship Appointments Board: 20 hours per year.
• Labour Market Council: 10 hours per year.
• Local Health and Safety Committee: 8 hours per year.
• Organisational discussion: 2 hours per year.
• Nominating Committee: The Nominating Committees only work prior to elections. As the student representatives have a one-year term of office, it may transpire that no work at all is done during a term of office. The actual scope is therefore difficult to estimate.

• Lund Institute of Advanced Neutron and X-ray Science (LINXS) Board: 10 hours per year.

If the faculty establishes separate working groups with fixed-term mandates, an agreement is made with the Science Doctoral Student Council on possible doctoral student representation. If the working group is formed on an ad hoc basis within an existing body, the doctoral student representative also become a representative in the working group. Extensions will be granted according to the same principles as for regular bodies.

Assignments and scope in department bodies

• Department Board: 10–20 hours per year.
• Library branch advisory group: 6–8 hours per year.
• Gender Equality and Equal Opportunities Group: 12 hours per year.
• Health, Safety and Environment Committee: 12 hours per year.
• Nominating Committee: The Nominating committees only work prior to elections. As the student representatives have a one-year term of office, it may transpire that no work at all is done during a term of office. The actual scope is therefore difficult to estimate.

There may be additional bodies at department level; contact your department to get the full picture.

Questions about your studies

If you have any questions about your studies, you should primarily contact your supervisors or the departmental representative at your department.

There are also contact details at the bottom of some sections on this webpage, for example regarding the licentiate seminar, doctoral thesis defence and international opportunities.

Doctoral programme

PhD studies at the School of Social Work

The doctoral programme consists of four years of full-time study. The programme leading to a doctoral degree comprises a total of 240 credits divided into a course component of 75 credits and an academic thesis of 165 credits. The education is completed with the public defense of the doctoral thesis.

A doctoral student is employed to fulfill the requirements of the doctoral programme, and is also expected to contribute and take active part in the research environment at the School of Social Work. Doctoral students may teach or do administrative work up to 20% of the employment, also depending on the department’s requirements. Swedish as well as English are used as languages in the programme, during courses, seminars and meetings.

Admission of Doctoral students

Our routine is to announce, rank and appoint PhD-candidates every second year. Applications are accepted only following a vacancy announcement.  Applicants who are eligible are those who have completed a Master's Degree in Social Work or a related field and whose scholastic achievement, previous experience, and aptitude for social welfare research and scholarship indicate the greatest promise for achieving the objectives of the program. Our next announcement is likely to appear in late 2024 with start in September 2025, although this will depend on our general situation. It could be earlier and it could be later.

All admitted doctoral students receive a salary so there is no need to apply for scholarships. There is no need to contact potential supervisors in advance. All doctoral position vacancies are announced on the  university website. We recommend that you visit this site regularly if you are interested in the doctoral programme.

At present, about 20 doctoral students are actively involved in research studies and each year around four or five students obtain their doctoral degrees.

Reading courses

These are reading courses specially designed for the doctoral programme:

• SASA007 Theories on the construction of social problems (reading course; third cycle) 7.5 credits (PDF, 60 kB)

The Department of Communication and Media provides doctoral education in three subjects:

• Media and Communication Studies (Faculty of Social Sciences)
• Media History (Faculty of Humanities and Theology)
• Rhetoric (Faculty of Humanities and Theology)

The Doctoral education comprises 240 higher education credits (equivalent to 4 years of full-time study), divided between a course module and a thesis module. The education concludes with the doctoral student defending her/his printed thesis at a public disputation.

The Licentiate education consists of 2 years of full-time study (120 higher education credits), and is made up of a thesis module and a course module .  

The Doctoral education takes place in accordance with an education plan established by each respective Faculty. Each doctoral student follows an individual study plan which they themselves have created together with their supervisors, and which has to be approved by the Head of Studies. The study plan is revised once a year.

Responsible for the Doctoral education at the Department of Communication and Media are the Head of Department, and the Assistant Head of Department with special responsibility for research and Doctoral Education. You are very welcome to contact us if you are interested in our Doctoral education, or would like to discuss particular research projects and -ideas.

Doctoral studies

Did you study law and detected something in your education that needs to be thought through further, supplemented or questioned? Maybe there is a particular legal or societal development that interests you?

As a researcher, you have great freedom to decide your own research focus, both with regard to the choice of subject and how the work is to be conducted. Few professional roles have such freedom. A doctoral degree also opens up a wide range of exciting professional roles such as teachers at universities in Sweden or abroad, but also other highly qualified tasks within public administration, ministries, international organizations or in industry. As an employed doctoral student, you will be part of an extensive training program. In addition to writing a PhD thesis under supervision of experienced and established researchers you get to participate in PhD courses at the faculty. The doctoral student is also given the opportunity to take courses in teaching and learning in higher education during the doctoral period. The doctoral students at the Faculty of Law are far from a homogeneous group. Here are people from several different countries with different interests and varying educational and professional backgrounds. This diversity contributes to a stimulating and vibrant research environment.

Peder Lund, PhD

Dr. Peder Lund obtained a PhD in Immunology from Stanford and then completed post-doctoral training in epigenetics and mass spectrometry at the University of Pennsylvania and Washington University in St. Louis. Research in the Lund Lab generally focuses on how resident microbes in the gut, collectively known as the microbiota, interact with the host epithelium to promote homeostasis and how alterations in these interactions contribute to pathological states like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

The gut epithelium forms a critical barrier that physically separates the microbiota from the underlying host tissue. In the absence of an intact epithelium, microbes may gain access to host tissues, possibly triggering an inflammatory response. While gut homeostasis may depend on physical compartmentalization of the microbiota and host, it also depends on symbiotic interactions between these two compartments. These interactions often occur through small molecule metabolites emanating from the microbiota, which are influenced by host diet and affect a broad range of processes including cell differentiation, nutrient absorption, epithelial barrier function, tumorigenesis, and inflammation. For instance, fermentation of dietary fiber by the microbiota generates butyrate and other short-chain fatty acids, which are thought to be the main sources of energy for epithelial cells via beta oxidation.

Now that sequencing approaches have revealed the composition of the microbiota and its genetic potential for small molecule production, complementary approaches to assess its functional output are needed to deepen our understanding of host-microbiota interactions and their role in health and disease. As a versatile platform for the high-throughput analysis of small molecules and proteins in both hypothesis-driven and hypothesis-generating research, mass spectrometry is ideally suited to accomplish this goal. Thus, a major endeavor in the Lund Lab is to apply mass spectrometry and other high-throughput approaches to determine which components of the microbial metabolome have a functional effect on host cells and then elucidate the pathways responsible for these effects. We are especially interested in how small molecules produced by microbes can serve as metabolic precursors and receptor ligands, thereby modulating energy balance and gene expression in host cells. Underscoring the clinical relevance of our work on energy homeostasis in the gut, ulcerative colitis has been associated with deficient beta oxidation in epithelial cells. Ultimately, we hope that our research will advance insight into the causes of inflammatory bowel disease and contribute to the development of new therapeutics.

Our lab is generally interested in how resident microbes in the gut interact with the host epithelium to promote homeostasis and how these interactions become altered in pathological states like inflammatory bowel disease. Specifically, we study how small molecules produced by microbes serve as metabolic precursors and receptor ligands, thereby influencing energy balance and gene expression in host cells.

Doctoral studies at the Department of Economics

The Department of Economics has a PhD programme that provides students with advanced training in economic theory and analytical methods. Students learn how to perform theoretical and empirical research at the highest level through coursework, seminar participation, and supervised research.

The student body of the programme is highly international. Each year, around 4 to 7 students are admitted to the programme. As a PhD student, you will join a vibrant and dynamic research community.

The closing date for admissions is normally at the end of January each year, and the programme starts at the end of August. All students are fully funded and provided with a salary from the start of the programme. The programme consists of four years of full-time studies, but as most students teach up to 20 % of their time, the programme is, in effect, closer to 5 years.

Graduates of the programme hold positions at universities, governments, NGOs, banks, research institutions, and private businesses.

Structure of the Programme

The programme consists of 240 credits (60 credits per year), of which 90 credits are courses and 150 credits are thesis work.

Typically, students devote the first year to coursework. The course package consists of a set of compulsory core courses providing students with key analytical and empirical skills and a broad knowledge of economics. The remaining elective courses are chosen based on the interest of the student.

Towards the end of the first year, students gradually shift focus towards working on their thesis. The PhD thesis is usually written as a collection of separate papers together with an introduction. Usually, it consists of three papers, of which at least one must be single-authored. The papers can be in different fields. The papers are presented at seminars and reviewed by external reviewers before being publicly discussed and defended. The School of Economics and Management appoints an official discussant from another university and an examination committee to judge the thesis.

Funding and facilities

All PhD students are fully funded from day one of the programme. The funding comes in the form of a salary and is associated with the standard Swedish package of social security benefits. The funding is usually not tied to a specific professor or research project, which provides students with flexibility and independence regarding the choice of research topics. The department also offers travel funding to attend courses, summer schools, and conferences at other universities. All PhD students are offered a fully equipped office space and have access to the IT infrastructure and services linked to Lund University.

Research areas

The department offers a very active and dynamic research environment supported by frequent seminars, visitors, workshops, and conferences. The research activities are broadly divided into three areas reflected in the department’s seminar series: i) Applied Microeconomics, ii) Microeconomics: Theory and Experiments, iii) FEM - Finance, Econometrics and Macroeconomics. PhD students usually have full flexibility and independence regarding the choice of research topics, although many develop joint research projects with other students and faculty members.

The programme prepares students for highly qualified work inside and outside of academia. Around 50 per cent of the graduates pursue an academic career. The others find jobs in governmental agencies, NGOs, banks, research institutions, and private companies. Recent academic placements include Aalto University, BI Oslo, Copenhagen Business School, University of Copenhagen, University of Galway, University of Gothenburg, University of Oslo and University of York. Recent non-academic placements include Danske Bank, Danmarks Nationalbank, IKEA Group, OECD, Swedish Competition Authority, Sveriges Riksbank and Region Skåne.
