Standard amounts and conditions for funding of courses within doctoral programmes
Compensation to departments responsible for courses given within a doctoral programme is generally made according to the standard amounts decided by the Committee for Doctoral Education (KFU).
Standard amounts
Standard amounts for funding are available for courses of up to two weeks (3 credits). For longer courses, the programme steering group decides on the amount to be granted.
| Course length | Standard amount |
|---|---|
| 1,5 HEC | 65 000 SEK |
| 3 HEC | 130 000 SEK |
In addition to the standard amount, the programmes may also reimburse extraordinary costs, e.g. external teachers with unique skills, laboratory activities requiring additional resources.
Conditions for payment
For the full standard amount to be paid after completion of the course, at least eight KI doctoral students and/or KI postdocs must have participated in the course, including the examination (but without the requirement of a passing grade).
The course provider must also submit a course analysis according to instructions.
Principle for reducing granted course funding
If the course has had fewer than eight KI doctoral students and/or KI postdocs who have completed the course, a reduction is made from the payment of course funds according to the principle below (which in practice means that full payment is given even for 7 participants). The amounts indicated are in SEK.
| Payment (%) | No. of participants | 1,5 HEC | 3 HEC |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 % | 7 | 65 000 | 130 000 |
| 85 % | 6 | 55 000 | 110 500 |
| 70 % | 5 | 45 500 | 91 000 |
| 60 % | 4 | 39 000 | 78 000 |
| 50 % | 3 | 32 500 | 65 000 |
| 40 % | 2 | 26 000 | 52 000 |
