Doctoral Studies

Doctoral studies in Computer Science give a deep insight in the PhD student’s chosen research area. The topic belongs to one of the School’s research profile areas: intelligent media computing, software engineering, or technologies for education and development. The focus in a profile area guarantees the PhD candidate’s integration into a larger academic community, also internationally.

All the doctoral students belong to the ECSE graduate school and get its services; online students in technologies for education and development are enrolled also in the IMPDET doctoral program. Besides the academic skills, a PhD degree in Computer Science gives a broad professional and leadership competence.

Most students are also involved in the School’s teaching activities, or collaborate in projects closely with Finnish and international companies. A versatile, rich and stimulating learning environment with world-class supervisors in their own research fields is an excellent starting point for an international R&D career.
