Apply to become a doctoral researcher
Are you interested in pursuing a doctoral degree? Get in touch with a professor representing the field closest to your planned research topic to discuss your research proposal, research plan and other studies included in your doctoral degree. To be able to apply for the study right in a doctoral programme, you are required to prepare a research plan and a personal study plan.

Do you have unfinished studies?
After graduating from the University of Lapland, you can continue your unfinished studies with a separate study right. Apply for the study right through the Open University. In the application, indicate which study modules or courses you want to continue and attach your transcript of records to the application. The studies are free of charge for the first two years if you already began taking the studies before graduation. You can apply for a separate study right whenever it suits you.
