Planning doctoral studies at LUT University

LUT University graduates and those with an existing connection to LUT

If you are planning to start doctoral studies, please contact a potential supervisor in your field of interest in order to settle the basic issues (for example supervision and funding). Further information on the eligibility to supervise, please see eLUT-page Supervision of doctoral studies.
After the supervisory resources and the eligibility to apply have been confirmed, you can submit an application to Studyinfo-application portal with all required attachments.
For detailed information on the application process and school-level instructions, please see Application Processes of Doctoral Programmes.

Please fill in the Expression of Interest-form.
The form is used for getting necessary information for example on educational background, funding and research interests of potential candidates. On the basis of that information it is possible to check if suitable supervisory resources are available.
Submitted forms will be processed approximately twice per academic term.
LUT University will contact the senders after the initial assessment and checking supervisory resources has been done. Inquiries while the process is still ongoing will not be answered.
LUT University does not grant scholarships for doctoral studies.
The form is meant for interested candidates who have their own funding available.
Please note! The Expression of Interest-form is not an application for doctoral studies.

It is common to work as a junior researcher at LUT while studying for the doctoral degree.
Open funded positions (employment), please see LUT web pages.
