Doctoral students may also include studies completed in other universities in the postgraduate degree if they are relevant to the subject area of the degree. Doctoral students have studied supplementary subjects in universities of both the arts and the sciences (e.g. languages, history, mathematics, computer science, and theology).
These studies can be included in the degree if this has been agreed with the supervisor in charge in advance.
Doctoral Students can participate in courses offered by both Doctoral Schools or pursue studies in other departments.
Doctoral Schools organize the annual Research Days for the entire institution.
Employed doctoral students may teach in the departments of the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes within the limits of their total working hours. This is agreed upon with the Head of the Doctoral School.
The teaching provided by the Theatre Academy and the Academy of Fine Arts can be found on the Open Campus website and in the Study Guide. Students are encouraged to take part in seminars, symposiums, and workshops in the other academies. In terms of group lessons, cooperation between the universities of the arts is mainly organized with few formalities, following the principle of free mobility.
The Finnish Doctoral Programme for Music Research organize annual seminars and workshops, which may also accept participants from outside these doctoral programmes. Event notifications are sent via mailing lists. It is also a good idea to regularly visit the websites of these doctoral programmes.
Students also create useful contacts when meeting artists representing different fields of art e.g. in their supervisory groups and through the artistic cooperation of concerts.
Doctoral students are encouraged to take part in international events and conferences by submitting their own presentations, lectures, and posters and contribute to the dialogue in the field by e.g. writing articles and networking with artists and researchers from different fields. ECTS credits may be awarded for conference participation and writing articles.
