Doctoral studies in Sweden are not like typical university student positions. A PhD study is a formal employment: it's a paid job. It is not possible to apply for a PhD position, until a new job as a PhD researcher is advertised.

It is only possible to apply for PhD studies at the Academy of Music and Drama (HSM) or HDK-Valand Academy of Art and Design when an employment position as a doctoral researcher is publicly advertised - by the gu.se website and by public advertisements (usually on e-flux education).

We will announce any call on the general gu.se website:
