Thematic studies

Thematic studies 15 ECTS

Our thematic doctoral programme 'The Arctic in a Changing World' includes a set of thematic studies (15 study credits). Thematic studies will offer to you a multidisciplinary knowledge base for inspiring your learning. Thematic studies in your doctoral degree are demonstrable, as you will receive a certificate with your PhD diploma about the content of the thematic studies and their relevance to employers interested in highly skilled employees.

What to choose

The thematic studies are divided into three modules: Introduction to Arctic Research, Research Seminar, and Current Issues in Arctic Research. The syllabus for each academic year includes courses to choose from in each module.
