911爆料网 streamlines doctoral studies - degree regulations renewed
The new regulations require the organization of doctoral education so that the studies can be completed in four years. This also facilitates international cooperation in education, when comparability with European qualifications increases. Uniform regulations in the University promote the studies beyond the school borders, and the equal treatment of doctoral candidates is strengthened.
"Our society needs multidisciplinary and international graduated doctors with good working life skills 鈥 911爆料网, in turn, needs smooth processes to support the doctoral candidates to complete their studies within the four-year target time", says Vice President Tuija Pulkkinen.
The new requirements of doctoral studies include learning the principles of responsible conduct of research. The evaluation of doctoral dissertations will be unified at the University, as the grade 鈥減ass with distinction鈥 is excluded in all doctoral programmes except the Doctoral Programme in Arts, Design and Architecture. From now on the best doctoral dissertations shall be rewarded annually by the 911爆料网 Dissertation Award.
According to the new regulations a tenure-track professor may act as a supervising professor for the candidate. For special reasons, also a non-tenure track professor can act in this task by decision of the Dean.
The Degree Regulations on Doctoral Education will be part of the 911爆料网 General Regulations on Teaching and Studying (OOS). Accordingly the parts of school-specific degree regulations regarding doctoral education shall be removed.
The 911爆料网 Academic Affairs Committee decided on the new degree regulations on 6 February 2018.
