Seminars within Chemical Engineering
The course consists of a number of seminars conducted during the school year, most of which consist of
students' presentations of their own research, current or historical. A smaller number of seminars may involve current issues at the university of a different nature than pure research presentations.
Course goals
To pass the course the student/doctoral student has to
- give an oral presentation of the kind that iscommon at scientific conferences
- identify strengths and weaknesses in a completed research work and contribute in a
discussion of these.
Prerequisites
Admission to a doctoral programme in Chemical Engineering or has a masterrs degree in Chemical Engineering or equivalent knowledge.
Examination
Students are assessed through active participation at least 75% of the seminars, that
say at least 15 occasions, during a school year, and by the very conduct a seminar
during the school year based on their own research.
Admission rules
Each syllabus states target group and eligibility, which should be based on the prerequisites necessary to understand and process the content of the course. Syllabi and scheduled course meetings are posted on the course portal web page for the doctoral level, which is also open to the public.
Doctoral students who wish to take a course should sign up according to instructions on the course portal.
Admitted students must meet the requirements stated in the syllabus. If there are more prospective students than the teaching capacity allows, priority is given to students as follows:
- If the course is not included in the obligation stated in item 2 below, admission is primarily granted to eligible students at the department offering the course. If the course is offered jointly by several departments at Karlstad university, priority is given, as agreed, by the departments concerned. If the course is commissioned by the Faculty, all students at the Faculty belong to the prioritised group. In the case of cross-faculty courses, all students at Karlstad University belong to the prioritised group. If order of admission must be made in the prioritised group, the student who first signed up according to the requirement above, is given priority.
- If the course is part of a commitment to a national or international graduate school, network or equivalent, priority is given to their participants.
- If there is an agreement on exchange with a subject, department or faculty at another HEI, eligible students from such institutions have second priority
- Other eligible students at Karlstad University have third priority.
- Other eligible students at other HEIs have fourth priority.
The appointed course convener decides on admission of students to a doctor level course in accordance with the order of priority stated above.
Upon completion of the course, the course convener issues a course certificate with a proposed grade to the students.
