Many of the doctoral students are registered in areas that affect large amounts of people as complications during labour, stroke, diabetes, allergy and HIV.

Admission process

On 1 July 2018, KI introduced new admission regulations for doctoral education. The reason for the change was that the previous regulations contravened the Higher Education Ordinance and the Higher Education Act. Information on the new regulations, including its four steps, has been formulated centrally at KI. One important difference from the previous regulation is that the individual study plan (ISP), defining how the student will attain the intended learning outcomes of the doctoral education, now is digitally produced after the student is accepted for doctoral education.

, including .

At KI SÖS we kindly ask the applicant to include step 1 through 3 already at deadline for application of admission. Thus, please include forms with associated attachments regarding establishment of doctoral position, (1), recruitment (2) as well as admission decision (3).

A reference group, led by the Director of Doctoral Education, will evaluate whether the requirements for establishment of the doctoral position are fulfilled and the prerequisites for a successful subsequent admission exist (Step 1-4). At Södersjukhuset (KI SÖS), where most applicants are clinicians, the employment will not change due to the acceptance of the applicant to the doctoral education, which differs from non-clinical researchers. Consequently, most applicants are exempt from the advertising requirement described in Step 2. After that the ISP is completed, the new doctoral student is provided with an opportunity to hold a ISP-seminar. 

The ISP-seminar, including a short presentation, about 10 minutes long given in English, serves as a welcome of the new student, and a possibility to obtain feedback on the project (Step 4). KI SÖS will arrange meetings where admissions will be evaluated and ISP-seminars twice every semester.
