Doctoral education - from admission to dissertation

Why do a PhD at CNS?

The Department of Clinical Neuroscience (CNS) is the largest Department at KI when it comes to Doctoral education with over 250 registered PhD students, over 350 employees and over 400 affiliated persons, mostly clinicians. CNS has a good reputation within KI for its quality of teaching and professional administration as we at the department strive constantly to improve quality assurance aspects of doctoral training.

Doctoral education within CNS offers research training leading to either a PhD or Licentiate exam. Doctoral education can be conducted either full-time or part-time (minimum 50%) for a 4-year (or equivalent time) period and can be obtained in both clinical and basic research topics at the department. 

Our main areas of specialisation: Clinical Drug Abuse and Dependence, Clinical Neurophysiology, Epidemiology, Experimental Neuroscience, Neuroimaging, Neurology, Neuroradiology, Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology, Psychiatry, Psychology, Social medicine.
