Doctoral Students in Gothenburg 2011/12:
Have your say!

In order to quality assure the University’s third-cycle education, the Department for Analysis and Evaluation is carrying out a survey entitled DOCTORAL STUDENTS IN GOTHENBURG 2011/12 during spring semester 2012.
The survey deals with doctoral students’ experiences of the education provided and their research and employment situation. It therefore focuses on views and expectations of third-cycle education.

All the results will be dealt with and presented completely anonymously. The results will be presented beginning in May 2012.
