Doctoral training at the University of Turku
In the University of Turku, the right to study for a doctoral degree is applied for from the Faculties. When granting the right, the faculty accepts the PhD student to the Faculty’s doctoral programme and at the same time, to the University of Turku Graduate School. After receiving the decision on the right to study for a doctoral degree from the Faculty, the PhD students must register at the University of Turku. The registration takes place at the Student and Admission Services - please see the instructions for registration.
In addition to the Faculty-specific doctoral programmes there are many local, national and international doctoral programmes operating with external funding. All PhD students are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with the existing doctoral programmes to find and apply to the one which meets the PhD students’ expectations the best.
