Current deadlines related to doctoral courses and activities
Here you will find some key dates to be aware of when arranging doctoral courses and other doctoral education activities.
Please note that from January 2024, we are using a new system for courses: Fubas.
The Fubas landing page provides information about the system, workflows and user guides, as well as a login to the system.
Course syllabus
14 February 2025 - deadline for submitting (for review) a new or revised syllabus in our new system Fubas for a course that will be advertised in the course catalogue for the autumn semester of 2025.
5 May 2025 - deadline for submitting (for review) a new or revised syllabus in Fubas for courses that are planned within the research schools, with a start date during the autumn semester of 2025.
Course information & course occasion
14 March 2025 - deadline for entering a course information and a course occasion in Fubas for advertising in the course catalogue for the autumn semester of 2025. If a course information already exists, we will use that (let us know if you need to update the content).

Funding of freestanding courses
14 February 2025 is the deadline for applying for funding from KPK for the autumn semester of 2025, if this has not already been done together with the application for the spring semester.

Funding for additional costs for courses within international collaborations
14 February 2025 is the deadline for applying for so-called additional funding from KPK for the autumn semester 2025. For information on which courses can apply for this, see funding for additional costs for KI courses in international collaborations.
Funding of courses within doctoral programmes
Contact a doctoral programme (or several) well in advance to apply for having the course included in the programme.
Course catalogue and application period
The course catalogue is open annually for application during three weeks, approximately 15 April - 5 May (for autumn semester) and 15 October - 5 November (for spring semester) - subject to a different start/end date depending upon the day of the week.

Funding of doctoral education activities
Application for doctoral activities other than courses can be submitted throughout the year, but well in advance of the activity. Read more about applying for this kind of funding. Please see Applying for funding of doctoral education activities for more information.
