How to apply

Please discuss the courses you want to apply for with your supervisor before completing the application form. 

If the number of applicants exceeds available places, applicants are prioritized as follows:

• PhD students from the Department of Psychology, Lund University
• PhD students from the Faculty of Social Sciences, Lund University
• PhD students from other faculties at Lund University
• External PhD students
• Applicants from other universities

Applicants from other universities, including other universities in Sweden, are required to pay a course fee. The current fee is 8 500 SEK for each PhD course offered by the Faculty. 

If you are not a PhD student at Lund University, you also need to fill out a special permission form and submit it with your application. 

Request this special permission form from the study director of the doctoral programme Åse Innes-Ker and submit it with your application.
