Decision regarding taking courses (and in the case of reading courses or internal IIIEE courses, developing courses), as well as registration of courses and course credits you have taken and received, requires involvement of different people and procedures. An overview of the procedure for four types of PhD courses you may take can be found in the document "Administrative procedure for different PhD courses". All documents referred to in this section can be accessed through the link to LU-box at the bottom of this section (requires login with your Lucat-id).

Further information regarding the procedure of developing a reading course is found here.

If you are interested in developing an IIIEE internal PhD course, please first talk with the Director of PhD studies. Detailed procedure regarding how to develop an internal course is found in the document "Procedure iiiee_PhD-course".

Registration of courses

It is the responsibility of the PhD students to make sure that the courses you take, as well as the credits you received, are registered in LADOK, the official credit registration system of Lund University. Once you are done with your course and get the certificate from the course provider confirming your finalisation, please follow the procedure outlined in the "Administrative procedure for different PhD courses" document.

In order to register the completion of courses, you need to fill in the completion template and get the signature from appropriate people (see the procedure document).

For reading courses, except for the course organised with several PhD students having different supervisors, you will get the signature from your supervisor, and use the format outlined in the "course completion template_reading course".

For courses taken outside the LU, or courses taken within LU without a course code, you will get the signature from the Director of PhD studies, and use the format outlined in the "Course completion template_credit transfer".

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask the PhD administrator!

Coverage of course fee

The financing of course fees differs depending on the course type. Please consult the course procedure document, and make sure that there is financial resources to cover the cost.
