Career-enhancing Work

The doctoral education is standardized to 3 years. However, candidates employed as PhD candidates have a programme spanning 4 years, with 25% dedicated to career-enhancing work. The purpose is to provide competence in teaching, supervision, and other relevant academic work.

The faculty determines the career-enhancing work for fellows to an average of 212 hours per semester, of which 70%, i.e., 148 hours, should be related to teaching-related tasks such as lectures, supervision, course activities, grading, and admission work at bachelor's and master's levels. The remaining 30% of career-enhancing work may include committee and council work, relevant research administration related to research groups, larger research projects, and graduate schools, but should not consist of fixed administrative tasks. The work obligation can be distributed as an average over the entire employment period or concentrated in periods.
