Doctoral studies in Sociology and Social Anthropology
The Department of Sociology offers PhD studies in the subjects of sociology and social anthropology. Around twenty doctoral students work at the department and we normally admit new doctoral students once a year.
PhD studies, or doctoral studies, are an important part of the University’s mandate and responsibility, and as a doctoral student you are an important part of the research environment at Lund University. All eight faculties at Lund University offer third cycle studies, including the Faculty of Social Sciences.
