Research plan
When applying for doctoral degree studies, a research plan must be enclosed with the application. Prepare the research plan
carefully, because it measures the skills and competencies of the applicant for the doctoral education. Please note, that the research
plan is an independent document by the applicant, but he Professor who has agreed as to be your supervisor will give you good
advice. The actual guidance will start after you have been admitted and registered to the university.

The research plan must cover the entire licentiate thesis or doctoral dissertation. If the research topic and materials change
substantially, a new plan must be made. If the changes are significant, approval must be sought from the faculty. The research plan is
usually drafted in Finnish or English and must include a list of references.

starting points and theoretical basis of the research, previous research

aims of the research, research tasks and questions, ethical issues
research methods and data, administration of data
working plan, working plan for part of the tasks

publication plan
evaluation of opportunities to exploit the results of the research, societal significance of the research results

The extent of the plan is about 10 pages.
