The Doctora Programme in Law is competence-based and constructively aligned, and includes active, systematic supervision. Its study modules are designed to develop learning and expertise in three ways: information retrieval, participation and the generation of knowledge.
Graduates from the Doctoral Programme in Law conduct research or perform other significant expert duties requiring an in-depth understanding of justice and excellent skills in legal interpretation, application, argumentation and problem-solving.
Doctoral researchers work on their doctoral theses independently, with some completing theirs as part of broader research projects. The doctoral researchers’ primary research communities are the doctoral programme and the Faculty of Law.
The Doctoral Programme in Law offers an extensive and in-depth understanding of justice and law. The programme is also open to students who have completed a master’s degree in a field other than law. The doctoral programme offers the best doctoral training in its field in Finland and competes with leading international universities in terms of quality. The programme and the Faculty of Law offer a uniform selection of disciplines, creating a flexible framework for the interplay of education and research. The doctoral programme cooperates, with the League of European Research Universities (LERU)
