Instruction at postgraduate level is given at the research departments within the Faculty of Science and Technology.

Each specialisation has a professor responsible for postgraduate studies and a general curriculum. Postgraduate instruction is also run by a number of Graduate Schools. A student is accepted into training at postgraduate level in a specialized subject if that specialisation is available. 

The degree certificate names both subject and specialisation. The research student can request that specialisation be withheld from the certificate. This must be done before appointment of the dissertation examiner and faculty examiner and grading committee and before the dissertation is sent to the printers. See ’Before a PhD /Licentiate degree’.
The general curriculum can be found under ’Study Plans’.

 The Faculty uses three types of study plans at postgraduate level:

General study plan

General study plan describes the aims and regulations for postgraduate studies which apply to all faculty subjects. 

Subject curriculum

Each subject curriculum provides a more specific description of the different subjects and specialisations which are available within the faculty. These curricula are decided on by the faculty board after formulation by the postgraduate studies board. Proposals for new specialized curricula must follow a special template. 

Personal curriculum

An individual study plan is a detailed personal curriculum, is specific to every postgraduate student and is revised yearly. It must be registered and archived at the department.

Everyone who in any way is involved in postgraduate education should be familiar with the content of the curricula. The individual study plan and its revisions must be kept by the department ‘for ever’.
