BUDGETING

If you are a PhD student, it's important to find out how much teaching you are budgeted to do for a specific year e.g. 20%. This can be checked with your supervisor and CST economy: ekonomi-cst@eecs.kth.se . Note that for a PhD student, currently, 17 hours of teaching is equal to 1%. It can be difficult to allocate this amount of teaching quickly if you wish to teach certain subjects, so if you are due to do teaching for a specific academic year, you should contact the DoS as soon as possible to arrange it.
