SEED School program specifics

The SEED will be executed with yearly intakes, three intakes within the SEED period of four (4) years. Every intake lasts for eighteen (18) months. The program will start with a mobility period in Sweden for four (4) months and the remaining fourteen (14) months will be spent at the home university. The mobility period, which is supported by scholarships, starts at LTH with two mandatory educational activities:

•  SEED kick-off/ Multidisciplinary developmental research Workshop   This is a kick off meeting of the SEED school that will start with a 2-days workshop on Multidisciplinary developmental research. The workshop takes place at Lund University. This workshop logistic is coordinated by LU and Workshop activities will be organized jointly by LNU/KTH. This kick off session provides the detail information about the SEED Programme and other logistics. This is an opportunity to meet all SEED participants of each intake and mentors from Swedish Universities at one place. The workshop will be focused on understanding the multidisciplinary research, along with identifying/studying opportunities and challenges associated with multidisciplinary research.
•  A 5-days PhD summer course on Gender, Disaster and Climate Risk (3   ECTS). This course is given at Lund University and it will help to include gender perspective in the multidisciplinary research at a broader level. The course specifically discusses gender inclusive approach in Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation by offering pedagogical training to actors such as researchers and practitioners. It aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to facilitate dialogue, and co-create knowledge and solutions, in developing gender-inclusive designs in response, recovery, and preparedness.

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.

Employment as a doctoral student

As a general rule, a person admitted to doctoral studies at Lund University is employed through a doctoral studentship.

If you have a doctoral studentship, you are considered to be both a student and an employee with a salary during your doctoral studies. As an employed doctoral student, you are covered by local and central agreements concerning your terms of employment.

In parallel to the doctoral education programme, as a doctoral student you may work with administrative and teaching duties (no more than 20% of a full-time position).

Lund University is responsible for education-related matters and the study environment regardless of how you finance your doctoral studies. All doctoral students also have access to the University’s Occupational Health Service.

Other forms of financing

It is possible to undertake your studies using another form of financing, such as an external scholarship or an agreement between Lund University and an external employer.

Financed by external employer

If you are admitted to doctoral studies and have a position with an employer other than Lund University, you are solely a student, and it is the employer who is responsible for employer-related matters.

External scholarships

As a doctoral student with a scholarship, you are solely a student. You are therefore not entitled to contractual employment benefits at Lund University.

In some cases, a doctoral student with a scholarship is entitled to apply for a doctoral studentship when three years remain of the third-cycle studies.

During the PhD program, the doctoral students take four joint courses that together give a deep understanding of environmental science concepts, theories and methods. Other courses are adapted to the individual thesis work.

The PhD program at Tema M targets both Swedish and international applicants and the working language is English. The aim is to give the doctoral student the ability to independently plan and conduct a qualified research effort as well as to present and disseminate their research results within and outside academia. Doctoral studies can lead to a licentiate degree equivalent to 120 ECTS (two years full-time studies) or a doctoral degree equivalent to 240 ECTS credits (four years full-time studies). Many PhD students are offered departmental duties (e.g. teaching at undergraduate level) and combine it with their doctoral studies. Departmental duties may not exceed 20% of the study time and if a PhD student chooses to engage in departmental duties, then their study period is extended to five years.

Energy and Environmental Management (EEM) has two fields of specialisation: "Industrialised Countries" and "Developing Countries" (formerly SESAM).

The "Developing Countries" specialisation focuses on three subject areas and is related to the energy transformation and to sustainable energy access in countries of the Global South:

• Renewable energy and its integration in energy systems
• Energy management and project management
• Energy systems and energy planning

A preparation semester qualifies all EEM students in economics, and it adds competences in research methods and the German language.

The compulsory modules on "Sustainable Energy Systems" and "Environmental Economics" are offered for students of both study branches. They deliver basic knowledge and understanding of the macroeconomic interrelation of environmental and energy-related problems. All other modules are tailor-made for the students of the two branches. Basic skills in planning and overseeing of development projects are taught in two compulsory modules on "Project Management in International Development Cooperation" and "Diversity Management in International Development Cooperation". An optional module on "International Organisations and Development Strategies" allows students to specialise.

During the course of studies, students can choose between modules on "Sustainable Energy Systems", "International Energy Markets" and "Energy and Environmental Policy" as electives.

In the subject area of engineering, students have to pass two compulsory modules on energy planning: "Sustainable Energy Planning in Rural Areas" and "Applied Informatics in Energy Planning".

Students have to select two further engineering modules from among the three modules on "Renewable Energy 1 and 2" and "Python Programming".

Many modules use problem-based learning as an educational model, which allows students to specialise according to their individual interests and the needs of their home countries and their professional careers.

After successful completion of all modules, students take part in an "International Class", a five-week field research project abroad. The "International Class" allows students to work in a multidisciplinary team on a development-oriented problem of sustainable energy use. It allows students to apply their knowledge in engineering, economics and social sciences and thereby deepen their methodological skills in planning sustainable energy systems.

The "International Class" also prepares students for the challenges of their Master's theses. The thesis can be based on and supplemented with an internship and is most often carried out in cooperation with a company or a host institution in the students' home countries.

Europa-Universität Flensburg

Situated in the German-Danish border region, Germany's northernmost university is a young university. Founded in 1946 by the British, it was awarded university status in 2000. Since 2014, it has been known as "Europa-Universität". In 2017, the EUF adapted its semester times to correspond with international semester times: In the spring semester, the lecture period runs from March to June; in the fall semester, it runs from September to December. With around 6,300 students, it is a comparatively small university. Young people from around 90 nations study on the Flensburg campus.

The main study programmes focus on educational science and interdisciplinary European studies as well as on environmental sciences / sustainable development.

The location in the border region is ideal for a university with a mission to live the European dream of intercultural encounters and explore its reality. For almost 30 years, Europa-Universität Flensburg and Danish Syddansk Universitet have been working closely together. Their double degree courses in economics offer students the opportunity to obtain degrees from both universities simultaneously.

The region is characterised by beaches, wind, and the sea. Situated directly on the fjord, with its impressive old buildings, low rent, a lively cultural scene, and close proximity to Scandinavia, Flensburg offers excellent living and studying conditions.

University location

The city of Flensburg is characterised by its waterside location and by the immediate proximity of its neighbouring country, Denmark. Located at the northernmost point in Germany, the city of Flensburg is the gateway to Scandinavia. It is only a few miles drive to the Danish border; the Kingdom of Denmark is located even closer to Flensburg than Husum or Kiel, and it can actually be seen from the beach at Wassersleben.

The campus is located about two kilometres from the city centre. Approximately one in ten residents of Flensburg is enrolled at Europa-Universität Flensburg or at the University of Applied Sciences. This is particularly noticeable during the summer months, when there is a lively atmosphere in this university town. As soon as the cold days are over and the last lectures have ended, students meet at the beach or at "the place to be" in the harbour, the "Hafenspitze".

Whether it's the reflecting water, the sail boats rocking gently in the waves, the sunset, or the fact that there is always someone you know - everyone likes the heart of Flensburg.

Away from the water, Flensburg's historical city centre and its identity, developed over many centuries, is one of the landmarks of the city. Spared attacks in times of war, Art Nouveau style houses and old villas can be found everywhere in the city. Its small streets are home to cafés, numerous courtyards, rum producers, a wide pedestrian zone, harbour pubs, and several beaches.

Degrees in Energy Studies Energy Management

Energy management studies are designed for those interested in energy conservation and the development of practices that are sustainable. The principles of energy conservation may be covered in addition to energy loss inspection, instrumentation calibration and report preparation.

Sweden (Sverige) is the largest of the Nordic countries, with a population of about 9.5 million. It borders Norway and Finland and is connected to Denmark via the bridge of Öresund (Öresundsbron). Sweden has a strong tradition of being an open, yet discreet country.
