We offer doctoral courses for those who are accepted as doctoral students at Malmö University or any other educational institution. In addition to the actual doctoral thesis, the doctoral study programme also includes one component course. The content of this course is governed by the general syllabus for the doctoral subject area.

Malmö University's postgraduate courses are open to all eligible doctoral students. If there are more applicants than places, priority is given to Malmö University's doctoral students.

  • The specific courses that should be included in the study programme will be decided upon in consultation with the supervisors.
  • There are also compulsory course elements that should be included in all doctoral students' education. Make sure you find out what applies to your particular education.

Supporting documents

If you are accepted as a doctoral student at a university outside Sweden, you are required to send an official certificate from that university proving you have been admitted to postgraduate education. If you do not have a Swedish social security number you will have to send a copy of a document that proves your identity, such as a passport.
