PhD programmes

When you apply for a phd programme in sweden, you’re actually applying for a job. yeah, you read that right. 👀.

“Do a master’s here – I’d say it’s a very good step to doing a PhD in Sweden. I did my master’s at Malmö University and now I’m doing a PhD at Lund University” – Sanjay, Malmö University. Photo: Oskar Omne

So that means – no tuition fees, no scholarships. But you’ll receive a monthly salary instead. Nice, eh? And that’s why available PhD positions are listed on a university’s job board.

How to apply for a PhD position? You’ll apply directly to the university.

Just so you know, there’s no centralised application process. And things like requirements and application dates? This kind of stuff is decided by each department. But we do know that you’ll need to have a master’s degree – in the same field of study – and a great level of English to apply for a PhD here. You might even need to be fluent in Swedish. But that’ll depend on the subject.

Health Psychology

Health issues are widely debated in today´s society. Alcohol and tobacco use, physical activity, health and work, diets, sexuality and stress are subjects being discussed extensively in both the scientific society as well as in popular culture.

The Department of Psychology hosts a group of researchers working with health psychological research and teaches health psychology.

A starting point on health psychology is the bio-psycho-social perspective where health can be understood as a result of physical, psychological and social factors.

Research in Health psychology

Health anxiety - an unrecognized problem in Swedish healthcare? A project on prevalence, individual- and demographic factors, attitudes within healthcare, and healthcare cost.

Aim: The project aims to investigate the prevalence of HA in the general Swedish population and Swedish healthcare, identify factors associated with HA, and study the effect of HA on healthcare utilization and mortality. A further aim is to identify barriers preventing people with HA from getting a correct diagnosis and treatment when in contact with the Swedish healthcare system. Principal investigator:  Ann-Sophie Lindqvist Bagge

Salutogenic factors for positive body image. 

Aim: To examine factors that promote positive body image development. The project is based on interviews with individuals who have overcome negative body image or have had a stabile positive body image over time. Principal investigator: Kristina Holmqvist Gattario

UNC-Chapel Hill graduate programs ranked among best in nation

U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 “Best Graduate Schools” list named multiple Carolina graduate degree programs in the top 10, including UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy at No. 1.

Wide-angle shot of the Old Well on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill with a student walking by it. South Building is seen in the background.

Numerous UNC-Chapel Hill graduate programs received high rankings – 20 were among the top 10 in the nation in their respective categories – as part of U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Graduate Schools” list.

For the third time in a row (2016, 2020 and 2024), UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy is the top pharmacy school in the U.S. The rankings are based on a survey of peers from accredited pharmacy schools across the country and are published every four years.

The Gillings School of Global Public Health was ranked second out of 213 schools and programs of public health in the U.S. for the seventh consecutive rankings period. The Gillings School has also maintained its position as the top public school of public health and has been ranked among the top schools and programs of public health by U.S. News since the magazine first ranked public health schools in 1987. U.S. News & World Report does not rank all graduate programs each year.

“Carolina’s graduate programs are exceptional, and it’s no surprise that our schools are ranked so highly among peer institutions by U.S. News and World Report, as well as other measures,” said UNC-Chapel Hill Interim Chancellor Lee H. Roberts. “Carolina is always proud to be recognized for our dedication to a world-class education. Every one of our graduate programs contributes to making us the leading public research university.”

Altogether, 23 programs increased their rankings, including multiple programs in the Gillings School of Global Public Health, School of Nursing, School of Education, Kenan-Flagler Business School and UNC School of Law.

“These rankings represent the hard work of our faculty, staff and students who are dedicated to moving Carolina forward through their incredible efforts each day,” said UNC-Chapel Hill Provost Chris Clemens. “It is gratifying to see this public recognition of their commitment to the mission of our graduate programs in research, teaching and public service. Even more than in the rankings, the proof of their work is the quality of our students and our passionate alumni who lead in so many fields.”

The School of Social Work moved up three spots in the latest rankings to a tie for fourth overall and is tied for second among public universities.

This year marks the first time since U.S. News & World Report began ranking law schools in 1987 that UNC School of Law has reached No. 20 out of 196 law schools. The UNC School of Law is also the seventh-ranked public law school.

Additional UNC-Chapel Hill rankings for 2024 follow.

Please note: Not all graduate programs are ranked by U.S. News & World Report every year. For a complete list of rankings for UNC-Chapel Hill, visit the U.S. News & World Report website .

GSEP Mourns the Loss of Professor Emeritus Barbara Ingram

Barbara Ingram headshot

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Barbara Ingram, professor emeritus at the Graduate School of Education and Psychology. 

Dr. Ingram served as a full-time faculty member at GSEP for 44 years, tracing her start back to the School of Professional Studies in 1978. A licensed psychologist and tenured professor of psychology, she earned a BA from Cornell University, two master’s degrees (an MEd from Boston College and an MA from the University of Southern California), and a PhD from the University of Southern California. An expert in clinical case formulation skills, she was the author of Clinical Case Formulations: Matching the Integrative Treatment Plan to the Client, as well as the chapter on “Case Formulation and Treatment Planning” in the APA Handbook of Clinical Psychology. She was a member of the Society for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration (SEPI) and a founding member of the Unified Psychotherapy Movement—clinicians, researchers, and theoreticians who seek to enhance practitioners’ capacity to draw from diverse approaches, processes, techniques, and research findings. She was also honored as a recipient of the Howard A. White Award for Teaching Excellence, Pepperdine University’s highest award for teaching. 

Dr. Barbara Ingram served with excellence within Pepperdine University and with distinction in the field of psychology, as evidenced by her scholarship, pedagogy, and service to the community. She was a beloved wife, stepmother, grandmother, aunt, and friend. 

Remembering Dr. Ingram, GSEP associate dean of psychology Robert deMayo shares, "Barbara was an outstanding teacher and mentor to generations of students in Psychology. She loved her students and brought passion and brilliance to her teaching. She advocated for the essential role of faculty in creating shared governance at our university and used her voice to speak for those who felt silenced. She was a cherished friend and made a lasting imprint on so many lives at Pepperdine University. May her memory be a blessing to our community.”

Her colleague and close friend, clinical professor Dr. Anat Cohen, shares, “Barbara was the first person who welcomed me to Pepperdine’s Encino campus. Over the years, we developed a friendship that I have always cherished. Barbara was generous with her time, and she was funny and full of energy. You could always count on her uncompromising honesty and brilliant mind. Barbara was a friend and mentor to me, and I know she will be missed by many people in our community whose lives she touched."

We are planning an online memorial for our community. Details to follow. For those who wish to send condolences to Dr. Ingram’s family and her beloved husband Paul, please send cards, notes, or letters to: Robert deMayo, Associate Dean of Psychology, Pepperdine GSEP, 6100 Center Drive, Los Angeles CA 90045; [email protected] . The office of the GSEP associate dean of psychology will forward all correspondence to Dr. Ingram’s family

We offer our deepest condolences to Dr. Ingram’s family, friends, and loved ones and keep them in our hearts. Please join us in praying for comfort for her family and remembering Dr. Ingram as a beloved and valued member of our Pepperdine community.
