When you start planning your dissertation process check the important dates, ie. Dissertation Committee and Academic Council meetings and deadlines (see Files below. Note! Schools have different schedules).
You can read more about the dissertation process from the Dissertation process booklet (see Files below), which is compiled by the LUT Doctoral School, LUT Academic Library and LUT University Press.
You have to be enrolled as an attending student when you start the dissertation process as well as when you graduate. Enrolment is obligatory even if you do not take any courses during the academic year. Enrolment is open during May-August, please see further information.
Study carefully the instructions concerning dissertations. See Files below.
Please note that before submitting the manuscript to the Dissertation Committee, the content and layout of the manuscript should be in its final form. This means for example that the language check by a professional or a native speaker must already be done. More information about the university's cooperation partners, please see LUT Universities intra (restricted access). Your own school is responsible for the costs of the language check, so discuss it with your supervisor.
You should use the dissertation templates (Word and LaTeX), maintained by LUT Academic Library. In the templates the layout and other specifications are already as they should be. See the Links section.
