Working and developing as a doctoral student

As a doctoral student at KTH, you have time for reflection and interesting discussions with knowledgeable colleagues. Your development takes place naturally through your progression in research projects and with the help of courses that are available for KTH doctoral students.

As a doctoral student at KTH, you are part of a larger context. You often work in supervisors' research groups, where your research project is an important piece in the puzzle. Your supervisors are key people for you, as they will guide you in your research and your development towards being an independent researcher.

To succeed as a doctoral student you need to be goal-oriented, have your own driving force and be willing to take responsibility for your own development. To be successful in your research you need curiosity and determination.

During your time as a doctoral student, you will create many networks with colleagues at other universities, the industry and other organisations. These networks will be a stepping-stone after your doctoral studies.
