  • The decision is given to the applicant in writing.
  • Students who have completed a master’s degree at the University of Turku do not need to enrol at the university – the study right is registered ex officio. Those whose master’s degree was completed elsewhere must enrol as postgraduate students. The university’s student services send the instructions for enrolment to accepted students automatically.
  • After the first academic year all postgraduate students must enroll annually to the university. The university’s student services send instructions for enrolment by email to the student’s utu-email address.
  • After enrolling at the university, the student together with the supervisor prepares a thesis supervision plan.
  • This form is not used when applying for a study right for professional licenciate degrees (psychology, social policy, social work). These have a national application procedure.
  • Postgraduate study requirements are published in the faculty’s study guide:
