Master by research

The Master by Research programme targets those who are highly motivated to develop skills and knowledge for a future career in academic, industrial or public R&D. This is also an excellent preparation for doctoral studies. Master by Research (MBR) is a programme where you as a student will start up your own project, which after two years will lead to your Master’s thesis. You will be a member of a research group at FSCN and carry out research closely supervised by a professor and other members of the group.

Postgraduate studies

Postgraduate programmes conclude with the award of a licentiate degree or a PhD. PhD’s are the most advanced academic qualifications awarded in Sweden, and they are the culmination of four years of postgraduate study (240 higher education credits). A licentiate degree is awarded after two years of full-time study (120 higher education credits).

PhD-positions are found online at the swedish website of Mid Sweden University. Positions open for international applicants are announced in English.
