Doctoral Studies at the Faculty of Educational Sciences

Around 80 researchers and doctoral students are currently active within the Faculty of Educational Sciences. During the last few years, research has been greatly consolidated in this area.

The overall responsibility for the implementation and quality of research training lies within the Board of the Faculty of Educational Sciences. Strategic considerations concerning postgraduate education, research and undergraduate education are formulated in the faculty's strategic plan.

To ensure that research training maintains a high quality, the Faculty Board has established a Research and Postgraduate Studies Board. The everyday work within each research training programme has been delegated by the Faculty Board to the department where the programme is placed.

Research and Postgraduate Studies Board

The Research and Postgraduate Studies Board continuously follows up the faculty's research training, its administration and its organisation at departments and within the Faculty Office.
