PhD courses at the Centre for Environment and Climate Science (CEC)

The course "Learning and Teaching in Higher Education – Theory and Practice" is compulsory for PhD students who would like to teach courses at Lund University.

This course covers information on general terms of employment, insurance, and management of the individual study plan, among other topics. It gives 0.5 ECTS.

For current doctoral students | Faculty of Science

  • The course gives 1 ECTS. The course was last given in February and March 2024.
  • Course coordinator:

This course is compulsory for all PhD students at the Faculty of Science admitted from 1 January 2021. It provides a basic knowledge of research integrity and ethics. This course gives you 3 ECTS.

During the course you will discuss the history of environmental science, how can environmental science sometimes create conflicts, trade-offs and synergies between different interest groups, and what is the future of environmental science? The course gives 3 ECTS.

10-14 November 2025, Lund University (3 ECTS)

This course gives an introduction in how interdisciplinary environmental research can be conducted. As a research area, environmental science is based on the notion that complex environmental problems typically demand an interdisciplinary approach to be holistically understood and potentially solved. In this context, interdisciplinarity denotes both collaborative efforts between scientific disciplines and between scientists and a variety of societal actors. During the course we will revise why interdisciplinary research across these dimensions is needed and how it can be pursued. The course gives 3 ECTS.

22-26 September 2025, Lund University (3 ECTS)

The course will teach you to reach out with your research. What are the main things to think about? How do journalists find their stories? The course gives 3 ECTS. There will be preparatory tasks the week before the course begins and you will work full days during the course period.

The sustainable use of land is a central component to reaching many of the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN. This course caters to both graduate students who want to embed their research topic in broader processes of global societal challenges related to land use, as well as those wanting to learn more about the biogeochemical and ecological processes setting the possibilities and constraints of land use and methods of measurement upon which sustainable land use is evaluated. The course gives 7.5 ECTS.

Human wellbeing is tightly linked to biodiversity and ecosystem services, and their management is a major societal challenge. How can we take into account the different functions and services? What are the relevant scales for ecological processes and do they match management scales? How do we account for the value of ecosystem services? In this course, we take a decidedly interdisciplinary perspective, drawing on community and landscape ecology, environmental management, governance and environmental economics to explore these question with leading researchers in the field.

This course is on research synthesis methods in environmental science. It shall provide the student with practical hands-on experience through active participation in the formulation and development of a publishable systematic review and meta-analysis. Teaching consists of a 3-day compulsory in-person session consisting of lectures, seminars, and group workshops, followed by individual exercises and a final hybrid in-person/digital presentation at the end of the course.
