During your doctoral studies you engage in a supervised research project and you follow an individual study plan. A post graduate education provides you with better prerequisites to become an independent and critically thinking researcher that can also be attractive to employers outside academia.
For those interested in postgraduate research education:
A PhD comprises 240 ECTS, equivalent to four years of full-time study in a research subject, including approved doctoral courses and a doctoral thesis. You can find available PhD positions at Umeå University here.
