Content
The PhD program in Information Technology, Mathematics and Physics covers a wide range of research areas. This means that PhD candidates often work interdisciplinary and it therefore will be appropriate to include a master's course as part of the syllabus. To facilitate this, the Study course in Electrical Engineering functions as a generic doctoral degree course where the learning outcomes, contents and evaluation form will correspond to the learning outcomes, contents and evaluation form in the selected master's degree course, but with additional requirements in the form that the grade must be B or better and that there must be an additional oral examination, as well. If the chosen master's course is at a department other than IDE, courses from the last two years of the relevant master's program can be chosen. If the chosen master's course is at IDE, it should preferably be chosen from courses from the last year of the master's study. If the course is chosen outside UiS, a course at PhD level should preferably be chosen.
Learning outcome
Learning outcomes in the course correspond to learning outcomes from the relevant master's degree course.

Course assessment
The faculty decides whether early dialogue will be held in all courses or in selected groups of courses. The aim is to collect student feedback for improvements during the semester. In addition, a digital course evaluation must be conducted at least every three years to gather students’ experiences.
