Teknat in Uppsala
As a PhD student at the Faculty of Science and Technology (Teknat) in Uppsala (i.e. not at Campus Gotland), you can request assistance from the Student Liaison Officer with responsibility for doctoral education at the Uppsala Union of Engineering and Science Students (UTN).
The Liaison Officer replaces the old “Doktorandombud” for PhD students at Teknat in Uppsala.
The Student Liaison Officer at UTN (utb-f@utn.se) can help you with questions and issues related to your doctoral studies. Such questions or issues might concern your PhD courses and their examination, your relationship with your supervisor and your ISP, and other matters concerning your rights and obligations as a PhD student. Questions regarding your employment conditions at UU are instead handled by your trade union (https://www.saco.fackorg.uu.se/doctoral-students/). If you are uncertain, you can always send your questions or issues to the Liaison Officer, who will then either help you directly or try to point you in the right direction.
In addition to the above, the Liaison Officer is also a member of the Postgraduate Studies Committee (FUN/Forskarutbildningsnämnden). So if you have any general comments or concerns about the quality of the PhD programs at Teknat, you are welcome to email the Liaison Officer about such matters.
Teknat at Campus Gotland
As a PhD student at the Faculty of Science and Technology (Teknat) at Campus Gotland, you can request assistance from the Vice-chairman with responsibility for student supervision at Gotlands Student Union Rindi (Rindi).
The vice-chairman with responsibility at Rindi (viceordforande@rindi.com) can help you with questions and issues related to your doctoral studies. Such questions or issues might concern your PhD courses and their examination, your relationship with your supervisor and your ISP, and other matters concerning your rights and obligations as a PhD student. Questions regarding your employment conditions at UU are instead handled by your trade union (https://www.saco.fackorg.uu.se/doctoral-students/).
