Register courses
Examination
For each course there is a course examiner who determines when a student has completed the parts of the course and determines the student’s grade on the course. However, it is always the doctoral student’s appointed examiner who formally decides whether a doctoral student can be credited with a certain course in the doctoral education, as well as how many credits the course gives.
Registration
When a course has been completed, it must be registered in Ladok. The registration is made by research officer at BTH.
For a course to be registered, you need:
- Notice from the doctoral student’s examiner to the research officer that the course should be registered. This can be done via email to fo.adm@bth.se.
- Course description, course certificate or equivalent. Attach the necessary documentation of the content of the course and that the doctoral student has passed the course.
Quality of doctoral courses
Krzysztof Wnuk, deputy Dean for the Faculty of Computing, is assigned to improve the quality of the doctoral education at BTH during his term of office. For questions regarding the planning of general doctoral education courses at BTH, please contact Krzysztof Wnuk.
