The aim of postgraduate studies, as indicated by the needs of the students and society in general, is to provide the students with additional knowledge in their subject area, competence in research methodology and research experience. Postgraduate studies conclude with a doctoral degree equivalent to 240 credits or, as a stage in the progress towards that degree, with a licentiate degree equivalent to 120 credits.
The number of active graduate students within the Faculty of Medicine in Lund is about 900. About 100 new graduate students are registered every year and about the same number conclude their studies by obtaining their doctorate.
When a position for a PhD student that is wholly or partly funded at the Faculty of Medicine, the position is advertised on the following page (in swedish "doktorand" or "utbildningsbidrag").
