Faculty courses at postgraduate level

Faculty-wide courses that are shared by all the different departments within the faculty are aimed at doctoral students researching several fields and specialisations. These courses are partly financed by the faculty and each department can apply for funding for each academic year. The final date for applications for course funding is 15 March every year.

Subject-specific courses at postgraduate level

Subject-specific courses are aimed primarily at the doctoral students in that field, but are generally also open to those with other subjects.

Course requirements

The number of accumulated course points required for a licentiate or doctoral degree is determined by the study plans for each subject and the courses which the individual student must follow according to the individual study plan.

The faculty board has decided that the course in research ethics must be included in all training, as well as university educational theory for postgraduate students who teach at basic or advanced level. It is recommended that an introductory course to studying at postgraduate level and a course in scientific writing be included in postgraduate training. Information about courses in research technique, introductory courses and scientific writing are included under the link Faculty Courses.

The university educational theory course is organised by the department for the development of university teaching Office for Development of Teaching and Learning (PU) and the Council for Educational Development at the FAculty of Science and Technology (TUR).
