phd in project management in sweden

PhD programmes

When you apply for a phd programme in sweden, you’re actually applying for a job. yeah, you read that right. 👀.

“Do a master’s here – I’d say it’s a very good step to doing a PhD in Sweden. I did my master’s at Malmö University and now I’m doing a PhD at Lund University” – Sanjay, Malmö University. Photo: Oskar Omne

So that means – no tuition fees, no scholarships. But you’ll receive a monthly salary instead. Nice, eh? And that’s why available PhD positions are listed on a university’s job board.

How to apply for a PhD position? You’ll apply directly to the university.

Just so you know, there’s no centralised application process. And things like requirements and application dates? This kind of stuff is decided by each department. But we do know that you’ll need to have a master’s degree – in the same field of study – and a great level of English to apply for a PhD here. You might even need to be fluent in Swedish. But that’ll depend on the subject.

Stockholm Business School

Phd programme with specialization management and organisation.

Are you curious about how …? Stockholm Business School offers a fully funded, competitive doctoral program in business administration, with specialization in Management and Organisation.

Program content

The PhD program at SBS spans four years of studies, including approximately 1.5 years course work and 2.5 years thesis work. You are assigned two supervisors who guide you through the program. The courses for students who specialize in management typically include a few courses offered at SBS as well as a range of courses in Sweden and elsewhere. The course program is partly tailored to your project but is also directed towards a broader academic journey in which earlier bodies of thought are studied and analyzed.

Doctoral theses written with the specialization in management are either published as a monography, or consist of a set of academic articles.

Departmental duties

Many students also choose to teach during their PhD studies, but this is optional. Doctoral students may take on departmental duties of up to 20% of full time each year, thereby prolonging the total study time in the doctoral programme. In addition to teaching, the departmental duties may include research assistance and administrative tasks, such as assisting in the organization of academic events.
