For current doctoral students (science.lu.se)
The PhD degree in Computational Science will include 240 credits, of which 180 credits are awarded for your doctoral thesis which is a compilation thesis composed of articles or manuscripts. The credits for theoretical courses are normally obtained through participation in courses within or outside the department, attending conferences, workshops and seminars.
Compulsory tasks
Seminar and examination which takes place about two years into your education. You will prepare:
- A 6-10 page written report describing the results and progress of your research project and how it relates to the goals in the study plan for Computational Science.
- A 20 minute oral presentation to be given at your home department.
Other PhD courses at the Faculty of Science
The Faculty of Science offers PhD courses relevant to all doctoral students, for example the course in project management or the course in research ethics. You should report the credits to Ladok yourself. More information about the courses can be found on the faculty's website
Faculty of Science's webpage.
Career development activities given at Lund University
Lund University has a broad range of activities focusing on career development, such as workshops, seminars and courses. With a few exceptions, these activities are given in English and are free of charge. More information about these activities can be found on the Lund University staff pages.
Conference participation
You can get up to 1 credit for active participation in a conference. This means that you present an abstract - either as a talk or as a poster. You can count a maximum of 3 higher education credits for conference participation towards your PhD degree.
Postgraduate courses at other universities
You can apply for and participate in postgraduate courses at other universities and transfer your credits to your PhD programme at the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC). Within the Bologna area, the same ECTS system is applied to all universities. Outside the Bologna area, the same rules apply as for participation in excursions - that is, your supervisor should estimate the credit value of the course/workshop and contact CEC’s research administrator so that the credits are registered in Ladok.
Graduate research schools:
The COMPUTE graduate research school offers PhD courses on computations and e-science.
