Become a researcher
Are you a curious person who is driven to learn and know more? Do you thrive in an academic environment? Postgraduate education is a unique opportunity to gain an in-depth knowledge of the area of law in which you are interested.
Doctoral studies take four years and result in a PhD, the highest academic degree in Sweden. There is also a two-year research study program which ends in a degree of licentiate.
As a doctoral student, you are steeped in the scientific method. In short, you learn to think critically and analytically, choose the correct method to solve problems independently, and deepen your understanding of research ethics.
Doctoral studies give you competence in independently conducting research, a deep understanding of the subject area, and the ability to communicate knowledge and create the conditions for teaching others.
