About the Studies
No less than 180 credits are required for the PhD degree, requiring three years of full time study. The doctoral programme is primarily based on the doctoral candidate's independent research, culminating in the dissertation. However, the candidate's advisor and/or Graduate Studies Committee may require the candidate to take courses in addition to the research.
