The PhD degree programme must, according to the PhD ministerial order, include teaching activities or an other form of dissemination of knowledge.

At Department of Chemistry you participate in the teaching of the students by carrying out theoretical, laboratory, and computer exercises as well as study café (TØ, LØ, CØ and SC).

• If you are a paid PhD-student (PhD fellowship) the teaching salary is included in your salary according to your contract of employment.
• If you are PhD-student on SU (PhD scholarship) you are employed in a temporary teaching position and is paid accordingly.

As a general rule all PhD-students at Department of Chemistry teach 140 hours per semester through the whole PhD, unless stated otherwise in the contract.

• It is often possible to teach more in one semester and then less in another semester (e.g. double teaching, 280 hours, in one semester and then no teaching in a later semester). However, it depends on the course and how many other PhD students who plan to teach that semester.
• As a general rule, the amount of hours given for a specific teaching task is: "confrontation time" x 2.5. This then includes time for preparation/subsequent processing (e.g. grading of reports).
• PhD students are allowed 1 semester (i.e. 140 hours) free of teaching, which most PhDs choose to place at the end of the PhD when the thesis has to be written, but it is of course up to the student to decide.
