Credit transfer
When you apply for enrolment in the PhD programme, you can apply for a credit transfer for project-relevant research, relevant work experience following your Master’s degree and/or PhD courses completed before the start of the PhD programme provided that they are not included in the Master’s degree programme. Credit transfer will result in a corresponding reduction of the fellowship period.
Your application for credit transfer is processed by the PhD committee.
Part-time enrolment
The PhD programme is usually organised as a full-time programme, but in certain cases it can be organised as a part-time programme. You must submit a motivated application for part-time enrolment, backed up by a written recommendation by the Head of Department, to the head of the PhD School.
Please note that a part-time PhD programme is normally restricted to a maximum of 6 years.
The terms for the part-time enrolment are determined in an agreement between the PhD student, the external partner (if applicable) and the PhD School.
