Overview

A doctoral Resource-Efficient Built Environments programme at Dalarna University includes four years of full-time studies and leads to a doctoral degree. Throughout the programme, doctoral students will be able to immerse themselves in a subject and develop within a strong research environment. The plan is that two to three doctoral students will be admitted to the programme each year.

Features

• We train research students so that they develop a scientific approach in relation to, among other things, their ability to formulate problems and critically assess all aspects of the research process.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

• Dalarna University is in an exciting phase of development that includes focus on tightening the current link between education and research.

• Often, this research results in different types of demonstration projects, where, for example, new technology or new ways of building are put into practice.
• This means that research in the field of built environments has close ties with industry and is done in collaboration with stakeholders.
• Doctoral students in the programme will have the opportunity to both immerse themselves in their subject and become involved in university collaboration.
