Applicants holding a Finnish Master's Degree other than a Master's Degree in Economics

A student with a Master's degree may apply for admission to doctoral studies. The minimum requirement for studies towards the Doctor of Philosophy in Economics degree is that the applicant must have completed the following:

• 36 credits in business economics and
• 6 credits in economics.

In addition, the applicant must have completed

• at least 27 credits at intermediate level and
• at least 18 credits at advanced level in the intended major

If at the time of application a student does not satisfy the minimum requirements and/or does not possess sufficient knowledge in the intended major at the time of admission, he or she may be required to supplement his or her studies. See information on the supplementary studies procedure below.

An applicant who does not meet the requirements on studies in business economics and economics can be accepted as a student for the Doctor of Philosophy degree provided that the research area fits within a major offered at the university. The requirements above concerning the intended major apply.
