  • Akademiskt lärarskap (5 hp) / Academic Teaching
  • Att arbeta som lärare vid högskolan (5 hp)
  • Att stödja andras lärande (5 hp) / Supporting the Learning of Others

Phd student in the Faculty of Culture and Society can receive 140 hours of departmental duties in their time card (‘tjänstgöringskort’). Doctoral students can also choose to have the courses count as part of their credits (the course would appear in Ladok as part of their degree). However, students cannot receive both hours for departmental duties and credits. This decision only applies to doctoral students hired within the Faculty of Culture and Society. Doctoral students can sign up once AKL makes the course available. Doctoral students must inform their head of department (‘Prefekt’) if they sign up to one the courses.
