Preferably use the form UT-KU sv/ UT-KU en. Course syllabus should be written in both Swedish and English. For further information see KTH Internal rules and regulations.

The examination should be clearly stated and related to the learning outcomes, with information on the requirements for passing the course. The grading scale for Doctoral level courses are generally pass/fail (P / F). If the same course is also offered at Advanced level, the PhD level course has higher  requirements for passing.

Send completed forms (via email) to the Director of Doctoral studies at your department for review, with Program Director in cc.

After approval by the Program Director, and decided on by the Dean or the Director of Doctoral studies, the registration form is sent to the University Administration (UF/VoS) to be registered in Ladok. Once registered the course plan will be updated in KOPPS.
