Welcome to Graduate School's hub for PhD Studies! 

About Graduate School's PhD Studies

Graduate School is an interdisciplinary department within the faculty of Social Sciences that has a hand in coordinating a number of courses from the faculty that are available to you as a doctoral student. These range from purely PhD courses, to courses on the master's level with complementing PhD syllabi, to other master's level courses that in many cases can be converted to credits toward your eventual degree. The only Social Sciences PhD level courses that we do not help coordinate are those from individual departments not offered on the faculty level. For any inquiries about such courses, please contact the respective departments offering them. 

Additional Forms & Templates

Depending on your status (internal or external to LU), you may need to fill out a "Special Permission" form in order to take courses with us. You can find that template and more in the lefthand menu, or by clicking here.
