Kuvaus

This course provides support for doctoral students who are in the final stages of their dissertation process. We will discuss and work on different forms of publicising doctoral research findings (e.g. press release, elevator pitch, introductory lecture or lectio praecursoria). The defence day procedures, such as engaging in a debate with the opponent at the public defence ceremony or delivering speeches at the defence celebration will also be covered in detail. Giving and receiving peer support form an important part of the course.

Depending on their needs, students will have the option to complete their final assignment in either English or Finnish.
