Place and date for decision making

The student members of Doctoral Training Committees have an important role as the voice of doctoral students in the four Doctoral Training Committees of the University. The decisions of the Committees have a significant impact in the lives of doctoral students. The Doctoral Training Committees direct, develop and evaluate the activities of the doctoral degree programs in the specific fields of the Committee. The Committees e.g. assess admission applications, doctoral training plans and final PhD theses. Additionally, starting from 2017, the Committees are also responsible for organizing field-specific doctoral training. The Committees gather approximately once a month.

The selected student representatives are expected to collaborate with other student representatives and to also participate in the activities of the Doctoral Students’ Section. The Section seeks to influence the development of doctoral training and promote equal rights and well-being of doctoral students. The Section gathers approximately once in 1-2 months to discuss doctoral students’ points of view concerning the development of doctoral training. The task of the student representatives is to take doctoral students’ proposals and opinions forward. The Section also organizes events for doctoral students.

In your application, please explain in your own words what is the role of the Doctoral Students’ Section at the University of Oulu, why you should be selected for the position and what you would especially like to develop in doctoral training, the position of doctoral students and the activities of the Doctoral Students’ Section. Also mention what is your major and the stage of your doctoral studies.
