The new Tampere University will hold its first Ceremonial Conferment of Doctoral Degrees on 12-14 August 2022. All persons who have graduated with a doctoral degree from Tampere University before the end of March 2022, or who have graduated with a doctoral degree from the former Tampere University of Technology (TUT) or University of Tampere (UTA) and have not previously attended a conferment ceremony, are invited to the all faculties’ joint conferment ceremony.

The conferment ceremony highlights the value of and respect for research and education and it is a unique way to celebrate academic achievements. Join in the festivities!

Registration for the conferment ceremony takes place by filling out the registration form, preferably by 15 March 2022. You can bring one accompanying person (avec) to the ceremony.

You can register and cancel your registration free of charge until 11 April 2022. Registered conferees will receive payment instructions by email after 11 April.

Tampere University’s Ceremonial Conferment of Doctoral Degrees will be organised in August 2022 if the authorities’ guidelines on the pandemic and the University’s own policies allow it. The aim is to make the decision on organising the event by the end of March, but due to the pandemic, changes may still be made after that date. Participants in the conferment events undertake to comply with the pandemic guidelines in force at the time of the event.
