Doctoral programme courses or freestanding courses

In the course catalogue, most courses are linked to a doctoral programme within which the course is given. Some courses are given in collaboration between two or more programmes. 

In the doctoral programmes' joint list you can see their planned courses for the next three years. Please note, though, that there may be changes.

Many courses are freestanding, i e not included in a doctoral programme. These are mainly general science courses and compulsory courses.

Eligibility 

If there are special eligibility requirements for a course, these are stated in the syllabus under the heading Prerequisite courses, or equivalent. Otherwise, the general selection criteria for admission to doctoral courses at KI apply, as well as the specific selection criteria listed in the course catalogue.
