PhD students make significant contributions to the University’s research.

Uppsala University’s PhD programmes are comprised of courses and a dissertation in which students carry out a unique and significant individual research project. A PhD degree is equivalent to four years of full-time study; however, after two years of studies students can graduate with a licentiate degree.
