Pursuing doctoral studies at KTH means devoting yourself to a research project under the supervision of an experienced researcher. You will follow an individual study plan, take courses within a doctoral programme and write a thesis. Doctoral students at KTH are normally employed and earn a monthly salary. In order to succeed as a doctoral student, you need to be goal oriented, driven and willing to take responsibility for your own work. Your development goes hand in hand with the progression of your research project and coursework. There are no tuition fees for doctoral studies in Sweden. Once you have been admitted as a doctoral student at KTH, you and your supervisors will set up an individual study plan based on the general syllabus. This individual study plan summarizes how your education will be organized, which courses you will take, your tutorial, and other commitments. The study plan also determines the requirements you must fulfil to graduate. Your individual study plan should be reviewed on a yearly basis.
