A full-time student is guaranteed advising for four years. Part-time students are guaranteed advising for an equivalent period. Advising may be prolonged by the faculty board in special circumstances. In general, each course ends with an oral or written examination. In some cases, a more continuous evaluation can take place, e.g., in conjunction with teaching or laboratory advising.
Courses are graded pass or fail.
The dissertation is defended orally in an open forum. Both the content and the oral defence of the dissertation are taken into account in the evaluation. The evaluation is performed by a committee which is established for each individual dissertation. Questions about PhD-studies at the department of meteorology can be directed to Ulla Hammarstrand .
