Duties

The duties of a PhD student are primarily directed at their own research education, which lasts for four years. The work may also involve, to a limited extent (maximum 20%, that is about 80 contact hours per year), other departmental duties, mainly related to teaching undergraduate courses - in which case the position may be extended to maximum five years.
