Doctoral education
The research area for doctoral studies called Studies in the Educational Sciences has been part of Teacher Education since 2018. It currently has three doctoral students in Swedish and three doctoral students in Education.
Teacher Education has a research environment that focuses on the educational sciences and is one of the university’s five research areas for doctoral studies:
- Historical Studies
- Environmental Studies
- Critical and Cultural Theory
- Politics, Economy and the Organisation of Society
- Studies in the Educational Sciences
We employed our first doctoral student in the educational sciences in October 1998 and, since then, we have offered a creative environment for doctoral students in the educational sciences.
Teacher Education has had a doctoral student network since the spring of 2016. It is open to all doctoral students writing thesis projects that are relevant to Teacher Education.
Routes to doctoral studies
There are different routes to studying at doctoral level. You can be admitted to an affiliated graduate school or to one of our five research areas for doctoral education. You can also be admitted to a subject in cooperation with another university or, if you work for the municipality, you can be admitted on a municipal doctoral studentship.
We are active in two national graduate schools for educational science. The national graduate schools are joint projects with other higher education institutions. Our doctoral students are teachers who research, who transform professional issues and dilemmas to scholarly problems of academic and practical relevance.
