How many credits do I need to get?

The total number of credits you need depends on your graduate school, but usually, it is:

• 30 credits in total before the Licentiate.
• 60 credits in total before the PhD defense (including at least 7.5 credits from GTS courses).

Note: You can usually ask to transfer up to 15 credits from your previous Master’s degree. See with your examiner.

Important: To enroll in an undergraduate course, you need to send an email to the course examiner at least 2-3 months before the course start. Ask if there is a spot for you. If the answer is yes, you need to send an application form to be officially enrolled in the course via this link:

After getting accepted the course will be visible on your Ladok page.

Note: you need a grade of 4 or 5 for your PhD examiner to accept that course to count toward your PhD degree (unless you negotiate with them).
