Doctoral Studies

Do you want to study at the doctoral level and make a difference in people's lives? Do you want to combine doctoral studies with research in vital subjects in a dynamic and international research environment?

As a doctoral student at Sahlgrenska Academy, you participate in our research, which is often carried out in collaboration with healthcare and is published in the field of health science. We have 900 PhD students aiming to complete a doctorate (PhD) in our postgraduate subjects: medical science, ontological science, care science, basic medical science and pharmaceutical science.

Career in academia, healthcare or industry

A doctoral program is the beginning of an academic career as a researcher at a university. A PhD lays the foundation for a career as a clinical researcher but also the option of working with research and development in industry.
