Karin Wastesson is LiU's Doctoral Ombuds (DO) for all doctoral students across all faculties at LiU. The DO also represents them on the Education Committee. The DO offers confidential consultations to doctoral students seeking impartial advice on their study situation, supervision, or work environment, and can either provide guidance on taking further action or represent the student throughout the university's handling of their case. Additionally, the DO assists students with general inquiries, helping them navigate issues like locating postgraduate courses, establishing contact networks with other PhD students, or accessing information in English.

PhD students at LiU are represented in university forums on department, faculty or university level where decisions regarding the research education are made or discussed.
Do you want to become a representative? As such, you participate in meetings and advocate for the opinions of doctoral students on various issues. The different tasks can range from research ethics, education, the library, to curriculum and employment matters. In many forums, the meeting language is Swedish, but English is sometimes used when necessary. For more information about the various forums (including the language requirement), check out this document.
Representatives are elected by the student unions StuFF and LinTek. If you are interested in a position or have questions: please contact vki@stuff.liu.se or uas@lintek.liu.se. If you are unsure what union you belong to: email studentrepresentant@lust.liu.se.
LiUPhD and DoStuc working group on digital degree certicate has compiled a report summarizing issues and concerns with the digital degree certificates at LiU. If you agree that these are of relevance to you and would like the university to address them, please sign our petition.
