Study syllabi

Most general syllabi are in Swedish. If you have questions, please contact Sara Häggström.

Under the Higher Education Ordinance, an individual study syllabus must be created for each doctoral student. It must contain the commitments of the higher education institution and a timetable for the doctoral student's education. The plan must be adopted following consultation with the doctoral student and the doctoral student’s supervisor.

The individual study syllabus must be regularly monitored and, following consultation with the doctoral student and the doctoral student’s supervisor, be amended by the higher education institution to the extent necessary. At Mid Sweden University, individual study syllabi are managed in the Research Database.

Administration

On admission

At the time of admission, the faculty office creates a draft study syllabus in the Mid Sweden University research database. The third-cycle student and supervisor are informed of this and requested to submit information and approve the study syllabus as soon as possible.

Annually

At the end of each year, the study syllabus must be revised and approved by the third-cycle student and supervisor. The Research Faculty monitors the study syllabi for all third-cycle students in the subject, and the Council for Third-Cycle Education decides on study syllabi for the faculty’s third-cycle students.

The Research Faculty
