* If the doctoral student is admitted towards a licentiate degree; only plan towards the licentiate degree. If a
doctoral student admitted towards a licentiate degree wishes to continue towards a degree of doctor a new
application is needed (Ph.D. latter part).
Possible service must be accounted for in the document Plan of service which in such case is to be enclosed. If
the yearly hours of work correspond to full time 1756 h and the extent of the service that, e.g., comprises
teaching amounts to 20 %, this equals 351 h. Research activities are here only corresponded by activity at
third-cycle level (i.e. excluding service that comprises for example teaching). At funding/maintenance type
AUH or externally employed doctoral student, the service corresponds to work at a company or other
employment outside the higher education institution.

* For doctoral students who are to participate in teaching the requirement is to take an introduction
course for teaching and learning in higher education (3 credits) before they start teaching (from
Program and action plan for quality work at BTH, version 2011-2013). Depending on the current
general study plan, the doctoral student may, possibly, include the course for teaching and learning in
higher education in the course module for third-cycle education or count the course as competence
development during the period of service at the department.
