PhD School Councils

The PhD school councils are PhD chapter offical bodies for PhD students in the educational programs within KTH schools. The PhD school council acquires its legitimacy towards KTH from the PhD chapter and henceforth a legitimate status of student union from KTH student union, THS.

The PhD school councils are guided by the PhD Chapter Statutes, bylaws and working directives and subject to THS statutes and bylaws.
