The Graduate School Management Group is responsible for the management and development of doctoral education and the implementation of the University strategy.
The Management Group consists of the Doctoral Programme Directors and the chairs in each Doctoral Education Committee. After hearing the Student Union’s proposal, the Vice Rector for Education appoints also doctoral researchers to the Management Group.
The Doctoral Education Committee handles issues ranging from admission to accepting the doctoral thesis.
The doctoral programmes offer field-specific doctoral training to doctoral researchers by organising courses and other activities and events.
