Doctoral studies at the Faculty of Technology
The Faculty of Technology offers doctoral education across nine distinct research disciplines.
Doctoral education comprises four years of full-time study leading to a PhD degree, and two years of full-time study for a licentiate degree. The programme includes doctoral-level courses, seminar activities, and independent research conducted under individual supervision. The research is expected to culminate in a scholarly thesis, which is publicly defended at the end of the programme.
On the Linnaeus University central webpage for doctoral education, you will find a range of useful information about the university’s doctoral programmes. Below is information specific to the Faculty of Technology (FTK).
Our doctoral research subjects are:
- Building Technology
- Computer and Information Science
- Energy and Environmental Technology
- Forestry Industry Production Systems
- Maritime Science
- Mathematics
- Mathematics Education
- Mechanical Engineering
- Physics
The faculty also hosts two Linnaeus University Centres (Lnuc) – Lnuc DISA and Lnuc TiSt – as well as the graduate school GATE.
Research Committee (FoN)
Doctoral education at the Faculty of Technology is coordinated through the faculty’s Research Committee (FoN). The committee is chaired by the Vice Dean for Research and Doctoral Education and includes five members with associate professor qualifications, as well as one doctoral student representative. FoN prepares matters for the Faculty Board and for the Dean´s decision meetings. More information is available in the committee’s operational description (link to be provided).
The Research Committee has been recently established by the Faculty Board. Once the committee members have been appointed and commenced their work, information about them will be published here.
