PhD students are entitled to a modest salary raise when they reach 25%, 50% and 75% of their PhD work (corresponding to 60, 120 and 180 credits). Your supervisors should report your progress twice a year to the PhD administrator, and when (s)he notices that you have reached the respective level, it is further processed so that you receive the salary raise.The level reported by the supervisors shou

In line with current academic practices, the IIIEE PhD thesis, when taking the style of collection of academic articles supplemented by a “kappa”, requires the inclusion of minimum 4 to 5 academic articles. These articles should together be able to demonstrate your academic capacity to carry out your research independently, from its design to analysis and writing. As a way of demonstrate your capa

Here are a list of things you should consider and/or do during the last ca one year of your PhD studies. PhD thesis Yes, you need to put it together… see the separate page PhD thesis for more information.

In addition to the courses that are established and are to be provided for multiple PhD students, you could develop some courses specific to your research need. These courses, referred to as reading courses, provide possibility for PhD students to include some research work (most commonly taking the form of literature review finalised with a paper writing) as part of your course work. In order to

The next step is for your supervisor to register your defence, which from autumn 2020 should be done at least 12 weeks prior to the defence date. Preparatory meeting Prior to the registration, a preparatory meeting with the main supervisor, the Director of PhD studies and IIIEE Director must be held where the appropriateness of the composition of the committee members, the opponent and the chairpe

Once the registration of the defence is approved by the post graduate education committee at the LTH, the supervisors should do the following:Sending the very-close-to-final thesis by the examination committee members and the opponent for their pre-evaluationFrom autumn 2020, the LTH requires a pre-examination of draft PhD thesis by the examination committee members and the opponent.

The final thesis needs to be “nailed” by the “spikning (nailing, in Swedish)” day, three weeks and three days prior to the defence date.From this date on you do not have possibility to make any changes to the PhD thesis – it is this version that will be evaluated by the examination committee members, and defended on the defence day.The spikning should be done both electronically and printed copies

Once the spikning is done and the printed copy becomes available, the thesis needs to be distributed. The most urgent recipients are the opponent and the examination committee members (we recommend that you also supply them with electronic copies as well) and the 18 copies you should bring to the PhD administrator, but there are also other destinations. It is primarily the responsibility of the Ph
