Doctoral schools
There are sixteen national doctoral schools in Sweden that are directly funded by the Government. These were set up primarily to establish if the quality of third cycle (doctoral) programmes would be improved if they were conducted within the framework of doctoral schools rather than in the traditional manner, and to improve collaboration between universities and university colleges that do not have the right to award their own doctorates.
There are a number of other doctoral schools offering third cycle programmes that receive their funding from other sources. More information can be found on the websites of the individual HEIs.
The sixteen doctoral schools specialise in the following areas:
- Basic Computer Science, Linköping University
- Economics, Management and IT, Uppsala University
- Gender Studies, Umeå University
- Genomics and Bioinformatics, Stockholm University
- Genomics and Bioinformatics, University of Gothenburg
- Health Care and Social Sciences, Karolinska Institutet
- History, Lund University

- Materials Science, Chalmers University of Technology
- Mathematics and Computation, Uppsala University
- Multidisciplinary Natural Sciences, Lund University
- Romance Languages, Stockholm University
