Licentiate seminar
A licentiate seminar is the occasion when the doctoral student publicly defends his or her thesis. Decisions on licentiate seminars are made by the dean based on a proposal from the research faculty. The licentiate seminar shall be held within term time and only one licentiate seminar shall be held per day within the faculty.
A licentiate seminar is called a half-time seminar when the licentiate student intends to continue working on his or her thesis towards a doctoral degree and public defence.

Contact the printing house, jorgen.carlsson@miun.se as soon as the date for the licentiate seminar is booked. Periodically, many people are going to print their theses, so it can be difficult to get a time for printing that fits the planned degree date. If you have to change the date for printing/proofing, you must make sure that the printing company is informed of this so that they can change their planning.
