Learning outcomes

The doctoral dissertation is a substantial scientific thesis based on independent scientific work. The thesis is published as a doctoral dissertation with the consent of the Board, and then defended in a public examination.

Contents

A Doctoral dissertation can be

a) a manuscript of an unpublished dissertation (a monograph)

b) at least three high-qualityscientific publications or manuscripts approved to be published, which constitute an integrated entity and a summary of them. The candidate must have the main responsibility for writing the above mentioned three articles and for conducting the study.

In the summary, the aims, methods and results of the study are to be presented. The publications may also include collective publications if an independent contribution of the doctoral candidate can be shown in them. The candidate must present a written clarification on his/her contribution to the collective research as the doctoral dissertation is handed in for the preliminary examination. This report should be confirmed with the signatures of all writers (on-line form). A clear record on where the publications have been published/have been accepted to be published must be attached to the dissertation.

The regulations and instructions concerning a monograph also apply to an article-based dissertation.
