Introductory days

Introductory days for new doctoral students

At the start of the semester, an introductory seminar (or a series of sessions) is organised for all newly admitted doctoral students in August or September.

The sessions provide information about

  • the general structure of doctoral studies
  • different course organisers
  • national and international networks
  • funding opportunities
  • services provided by HR, the library, the IT department, and the study register (Sisu) team
  • practicalities, e.g. contact details to the PhD Programme, departmental secretaries and the study coach

The seminar is an opportunity for new doctoral students to get to know each other, as well as representatives from the academic and administrative staff at Hanken. In conjunction with the seminars, a season kick-off is organised where all new and old PhD students are welcomed.

Participants will be informed about the seminar by e-mail. Material from the seminar will be available electronically after the seminar.
