Contacting a teacher or the support services of doctoral education directly is often the best and fastest way to have an impact. The opening ceremony of the Doctoral School in the beginning of the fall term and other joint events also allow staff and students to exchange thoughts. There is also a box for feedback in the Doctoral School, outside the office door on the 3rd floor of T Building. In addition, teachers collect feedback on each course and respond to feedback during courses.
Students are encouraged to organize their own meetings and study groups.
Students of Doctoral Schools have representation in e.g. the Research and Doctoral Education Supervisory Group of the University of the Arts Helsinki (TTOR) and the Academic Council of the Sibelius Academy and its Research and Doctoral Education Division.
