The guidelines for graduate education at Chalmers are expressed in the rules of procedure for the graduate education which you can find on Insidan (Forskarutbildning på Insidan). The document has gone through major revision and it has a strong impact on important topics like licentiate seminar, termination of the doctoral studies and change of supervisor. After actively campaigning for PhD students during the negotiations, we are now promoting awareness among doctoral students and explaining the new changes. On our website you can find the updated version where the changes have been highlighted (get PDF here) (in Swedish) and a more detailed explanation of the major changes (get PDF here) (in English). Spread the news among your colleagues and contact us for clarifications or suggestions.
