University of Oulu Graduate School

The offices of the UniOGS coordinators are now located in the new Student Center (Linnanmaa).

University of Oulu Graduate School (UniOGS) started its activities on 1 August 2011.

The main goal of the UniOGS is to provide the framework and conditions for high-quality, research-driven doctoral education for all students of the University of Oulu. By promoting the development of effective student-supervisor relationships, founded on both motivation and commitment, UniOGS aims to create a favourable environment for the planning, execution and timely completion of doctoral training programmes tailored to each student. UniOGS makes available a selection of General Education and Transferable Skills Courses amongst which students, with the guidance of their supervisors, may choose those that are necessary for their professional development. The first of these courses will be arranged during the Spring 2012. In UniOGS, students acquire a proficiency to work at doctoral level tasks. After completing the degree, the new doctor will have skills to solve problems with scientific methods in academia, administration, private enterprise, or other sectors, and should therefore have good employment opportunities.
