We provide doctoral studies within Archaeology, Educational History and History Didactics, History, History of Science and Ideas, Philosophy, and Religious Studies.
Doctoral studies involve four years of full-time study, which include a number of courses and a doctoral thesis. Besides acquiring in-depth knowledge of a field of study, you will also cultivate your critical and analytical thinking. During your studies, you get to solve problems independently as you prepare for a professional career within academia, or the business or public sector. To be admitted to doctoral studies you are also required to have guaranteed financing for the entire study period trough a doctoral student position.
Each of our research subjects have general study plans for doctoral studies. Our doctoral students also follow a set of regulations for doctoral studies at Umeå University. You may also find more information at the Faculty of arts webpages for doctoral students.
