Feedback
Doctoral students are asked to give feedback during their studies and also in connection with graduation process. Feedback is handled at the meetings of the LUT Doctoral School steering group. You can also suggest issues to be handled at their meeting. The steering group has three student representatives:
- Amanda Piepponen, junior researcher (Doctoral Programme in Business and Management/Economics and Business Administration)
- Mirika Knuutila, junior researcher (LUT School of Energy Systems/Energy Engineering)
- Abdul-Rauf Larry Abdullai, junior researcher (Doctoral Programme in Engineering Science/Software Engineering)
More information about the steering group, please see LUT intra (restricted access)
Feedback channels in other issues:
- Supervision: supervisors, the head of the doctoral programme, Jari Hämäläinen (vice president for research and innovation)
- Course tray: head of the doctoral programme, teacher(s), person responsible for the research field
- Study guidance: LUT Doctoral School
- eLUT/doctoral studies: LUT Doctoral School
- LUT intra (Doctoral education): LUT Doctoral School
- Guidelines for addressing harassment (LUT intra, restricted access)
- LUT universities' student equality and non-discrimination plan
Student support and wellbeing services
Student support and wellbeing services offered by LUT University are introduced on the eLUT website below. Please note that the Finnish Student Health Service (FSHS) will provide student healthcare services only for higher education degree students (Bachelor, Master). Study psychologists, however, offer limited support and counseling on study-related issues (motivation, study-related anxiety) also for doctoral students who are not employed by LUT. More information about study psychologist services can be found here.
