Education

A graduate school in Security, Reliability and Trust, offers a PhD program meeting the highest international standards. The Centre supports the following activities.

• PhD student positions: PhD students conducting research in Security, Reliability and Trust have a PhD position at the Centre.
• Industrial PhD projects: The PhD student carries out thesis research in cooperation with an external partner. The project is defined together with an advisor at UL and primarily funded by external sources. The students share their time between the partner and SnT.
• Graduate courses: The Centre provides courses of relevance to the research and education program. The following categories of courses are given:
  • Preparatory courses give an advanced introduction to a relevant topic, with the purpose of providing necessary knowledge to pursue research in the areas defined by the Centre environment. Preparatory courses are presented on a regular basis; nominally at least every other year and suitable for Master of Science students.
  • Specialized courses are directed towards PhD students that are well underway in their studies and cover advanced topics, better tailored to the specialized fields of research in the general area of the Centre environment. These courses are not necessarily presented on a regular basis
  • Intensive courses are presented at a high pace over a relatively short period of time (1 day to 3 weeks), typically by a visiting scientist or guest professor.
  • Summer/Winter School is an intensive course typically given off campus and open to students for other universities. The duration is one week and often treats an interdisciplinary topic.
  Summer school: October 12-16, 2009

• Mobility : Travel grants are awarded to students for active workshop and conference participation. Also, research visits and internships in other research laboratories are supported for 2-6 months.
