Eligibility:
An applicant meets the general eligibility requirements for postgraduate studies (third-cycle studies) if he or she:
• has been awarded a second-cycle qualification
• has satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 higher education credits/ECTS credits of which at least 60 higher education credits/ECTS credits were awarded in the second-cycle, or

When assessing whether the equivalent qualification is sufficient, particular consideration shall be given to the requirements to successfully carry out the postgraduate studies within the specific subject area. Applicants shall have sufficient knowledge of Swedish or English.
Applicants should be awarded the necessary degree or should have passed all courses required for the necessary degree on the 22 February 2017, at the latest.
Assessment:
In accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance 5:5, the selection among the qualified applicants will be primarily based on the assessment of the applicants' ability to get knowledge in the field of the postgraduate studies. During the selection process, an overall assessment of the applicant's capacity, the planned project's qualities and the Department's prerequisites for providing the necessary support is carried out.
The following aspects will be considered in the project outline: the applicant's knowledge of previous and current research within the field; the scientific basis of the addressed issues; the adequateness of the described methods; and last but not least, the feasibility of the project within the frame of the postgraduate studies. Another relevant assessment criterion that might be taken into consideration is the Department's ambition to achieve a complete academic environment and secure its future competence needs.
