Overview

The third-cycle programmes are largely characterized by individuality and personal contact between the supervisors and the doctoral student. The Computational Science and Engineering programmes at the Umea University include a few courses which provide the basic skills required in order to become a successful researcher.

Features

Other courses, which are often individually adapted, focus on acquiring in-depth knowledge in the subject area of the thesis. All doctoral students in the area of Computing Science also take the course "Doctoral Training Days in Computing Science".
