Postgraduate education at IGP
At IGP there are approximately 100 postgraduate students, with activities in all research programmes. Here you can find some information about our postgraduate education.
The postgraduate programme comprises at least 120 credit points for a licentiate degree, typically two years training, and at least 240 credit points for a doctoral degree, i.e. four years training. The program includes both a number of courses and other theoretical elements, and the actual thesis work. At IGP the thesis work as a rule involves experimental (wet laboratory) work, resulting in publications in scientific journals.
