Additional information on doctoral studies

Structure and duration of doctoral studies.

In addition to the doctoral dissertation, the requirements for a doctoral degree include other studies, which you should plan to support your doctoral research. The structure of the other studies can be found in the curriculum of your doctoral programme.

For full-time doctoral students, the target time of completing the doctoral degree is four years. Part-time students may take longer to complete their degree.

Doctoral dissertation

To earn a doctoral degree, students must complete a dissertation and defend it in a public examination. Students prepare a dissertation to demonstrate their ability to produce original scientific knowledge in the field of their research. Writing the dissertation requires that the student is capable of conducting independent scientific research.

Tampere University Doctoral School

The Doctoral School supports the development of diverse, multidisciplinary and international expertise among doctoral researchers and works to promote employability of our doctoral graduates.

You will be able to select courses that meet your needs over 50 courses that the Doctoral School offers each year. We give Finnish and English-taught courses both online and in a physical classroom environment.

Doctoral education pilots

The Ministry of Education and Culture has allocated 255 million euros to universities for piloting new practices in doctoral education in 2024–2027. The University of Eastern Finland is involved in 11 pilots, with numerous doctoral researcher positions opening at the university.

Universities will work together to improve doctoral education and reinvent practices. The pilots aim to increase the mobility of doctoral graduates between universities, businesses, research institutes and other organisations, develop direction and guidance, and promote the employment of doctoral graduates in different sectors of society.

The pilot disciplines represent flagship areas of research or topics from other fields, involving research institutions and companies in the implementation. The next call for doctoral positions will open in fall 2024. You can find descriptions of the pilots below. All open doctoral positions are listed on the university's Open Positions website .

Become a partner in a doctoral education pilot!

For companies and other organisations, the University of Eastern Finland offers opportunities for collaboration in the context of doctoral education pilots.

You can become involved in a doctoral education pilot in the role of a partner, a supervisor or a mentor – or you can invite a doctoral researcher on an expert visit to your company. Collaboration brings various benefits and opportunities and can, in a best-case scenario, lead to a long-term, mutually beneficial strategic partnership:

• Gain access to the field’s latest scientific knowledge for the benefit of your company. Researched-based knowledge creates a foundation for new innovations, products and business development.
• Get involved in co-development, where you can define research ideas and problems together with a researcher. Using real-life data to solve problems adds to the expertise of everyone involved. 
• Network with specialists and experts. Collaboration supports the sharing of learning and expertise, the recruitment of doctoral researchers into companies, and the creation and expansion of networks both nationally and internationally.

In matters related to collaboration in the context of a doctoral education pilot, please send an email to [email protected] or contact the persons listed below.

Digital waters doctoral education pilot (diwa-dp-pilot).

The Digital Waters (DIWA) Doctoral Pilot will focus on the Digital Waters Flagship research area of complex interactions and responses in the hydro-, atmo- and cryosphere and train experts in methodological, data/digital and management skills needed to become game changers and leaders in the field of water research, governance, and innovation. We will address the methodological challenges of dealing with growing amount of (big) data and large datasets across different climatic zones (boreal – arctic), the use of new observational systems in field campaigns, and integrated analysis and modelling of environmental processes under climate and land-use change pressures.   

The DIWA is coordinated by the University of Oulu. In total, 60 doctoral researchers will be employed within the DIWA doctoral training pilot project. Of these, 5 doctoral researchers will be employed by University of Eastern Finland. 

In the spring call 2024, 2 positions for Doctoral Researchers will become available in the fields of environmental modelling and analysis at the University of Eastern Finland.

Doctoral Education Pilot in Precision Cancer Medicine (iCANDOC)

The rapidly increasing number of cancer cases ("cancer tsunami") has led to the identification of cancer as one of the six grand challenges in Europe and highlighted the urgent unmet need for new solutions. Precision medicine and digital health technologies have matured to a point where assessment of the relationship of tumor-specific characteristics with the patient's response can inform diagnostic and drug discovery efforts by identifying novel mechanisms and targets. The linkage of digital and precision cancer medicine approaches represents the research area of this Doctoral education pilot in precision cancer medicine (iCANDOC) which is based on the iCAN Digital Precision Cancer Medicine Flagship . This research field leverages Finnish strengths including high-quality digital health registries and biobanks.

iCANDOC provides an outstanding opportunity for a new doctoral training pilot training doctoral researchers efficiently for the needs of future employers both in private and public health care sector to secure an adequate supply of experts in this vital field in Finnish society and enhance our competitive advantage on a global scale.

At the University of Eastern Finland 5 positions for Doctoral Researchers will become available. The doctoral education pilot positions for iCANDOC will be supervised by Principal Investigators of the multidisciplinary Cancer community (RC Cancer). If you are interested in applying for a position in the thematic field of iCANDOC, you should contact a possible supervisor without delay.
