Doctoral studies
The doctoral studies of the Department of Applied Physics are based on top-level scientific research. The department has roughly twenty research groups which offer Ph.D. research positions in topical experimental, theoretical or computational projects. It is strongly recommended that the students select doctoral studies that are directly relevant and closely related to their research field. A large number of graduate level lecture courses are given at the department and, in addition to the lecture courses, it is recommended that postgraduate students participate in (summer) schools and workshops in Finland and abroad. Workshops and schools are credited in doctoral studies (See for examples our events page).
It is also possible to obtain credits by self-study of relevant books and review articles Here are some examples.
Further information can be obtained from the senior teaching and research staff at the department.
