Enclosures

The following enclosures must be attached to the application:

- a draft research proposal for licentiate thesis or doctoral dissertation
- certificates of academic and educational background or an official transcript of previous university records

- certificates of foreign language skills, if any, e.g. English, German, Finnish
- descriptions of the syllabus of the applicant's previous studies
- a written work of the level of the Finnish Master’s thesis.

Please note that because the applicant has to present feasible preliminary study and research plans for graduate studies, the professor of the prospective major subject should be consulted before submitting the application. Furthermore, the applicant's Master's thesis must be on the same subject or field of study as in which they wish to do their licentiate/doctoral studies.

The University of Tampere does not offer any scholarships for foreign students, and all students are expected to finance their studies independently. If the applicant comes from a non-EU country they must show that their income is secured either with a scholarship, a grant or other funds with which the student can support themselves during the academic studies. Students must be able to prove that they have at their disposal at least 500 EUR a month or 6,000 EUR per year.
