Doctor of Medical Science and Doctor of Dental Science Doctoral degrees in medical and dental science are postgraduate degrees completed after the Licentiate degree that demonstrate an ability to conduct independent scientific research. Structure and scope The doctoral degree corresponds to a full-time workload of four years. The degree can also be completed on a part-time basis. The doctoral degree consists of a total of 40 credits of studies and the doctoral dissertation. Of the compulsory studies, general studies comprise 10‒20 credits and field-specific studies 20‒30 credits. General studies 10‒20 cr The purpose of general studies is to familiarise the doctoral candidate with common research methods used in medical and dental science, the planning of research, the assessment and publishing of results, and scientific writing as well as ethical research principles. The Faculty places particular focus on methodology courses. Courses on topics such as philosophy of science, ethics, the planning of research, methodology, epidemiology, biometrics, and biostatistics and other statistical topics can be included in the degree as general studies. In addition, general studies may include courses on scientific writing, project work and the reporting, publishing and presentation of research. General studies may not include training in the field of the doctoral dissertation. Doctoral candidates must complete a compulsory laboratory animal course if the doctoral student intends to perform animal experiments. Page 1 of 7 Up to two credits of general studies may be completed as a book examination, and the examiner must be an expert in the field affiliated with the Faculty (but must not be the dissertation supervisor). General studies may also include five credits of studies in university pedagogy or, alternatively, in related administrative training. Field-specific studies 20‒30 cr The purpose of field-specific studies is to profoundly familiarise doctoral candidates with their field and related research methods as well as to monitor developments in the field. Field-specific studies mainly comprise national and international conferences and courses in the field of the dissertation. The contents of the studies are agreed upon with the dissertation supervisor. Field-specific studies may contain up to ten credits of book examinations, and the examiner must be the dissertation supervisor. In addition, field-specific studies may include up to six credits earned through clinic or department meetings. The doctoral degree may include up to two credits of supervision provided by the dissertation supervisor. Up to fifteen credits of theoretical studies included in training towards a specialist degree in medicine or dentistry may also be counted towards a doctorate in medical or dental science. Their scope is evaluated in accordance with the decisions of specialist training committees. Research visits abroad and presentations or poster presentations held at international scientific conferences may be included in field-specific studies if the doctoral candidate is the first or second author of the presentation. The maximum number of credits completed this way is 20. In addition, field-specific studies may include up to ten credits earned from presentations and poster presentations held at Finnish conferences. Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The Faculty of Medicine may admit a person who has completed a second-cycle (Master’s) degree at a Finnish university or a corresponding degree at a university or other institution of higher education abroad to pursue the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Structure and scope The doctoral degree corresponds with a full-time workload of four years. The degree can also be completed on a part-time basis. The doctoral degree consists of a total of 60 credits of studies and the doctoral dissertation. Doctoral studies 60 cr NB! The compulsory Licentiate Examination was removed from the degree requirements on 23 September 2014. Page 2 of 7 The doctoral candidate and dissertation supervisor must collaborately draw up a postgraduate study plan for the degree. The studies included in the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (60 credits) are not divided into general studies and field-specific studies. It is recommended that the degree include courses that enhance general academic expertise, such as philosophy of science and ethics, as well as topics pertaining to the general planning of research and the assessment of results, such as the planning of research, methodology, epidemiology, biometrics, and biostatistics and other statistical topics. In addition, the doctoral degree may include studies and courses dealing with scientific writing, project work and the reporting, publishing and presentation of research. The purpose of doctoral studies is to profoundly familiarise doctoral candidates with and to monitor developments in their field; hence, the studies should include conferences and courses in the field of the dissertation both in Finland and abroad. The doctoral studies may include up to 20 credits of optional book examinations. The examiner must be either the dissertation supervisor and/or another teacher at the Faculty. Instructions for completing optional book examinations: · The doctoral candidate selects and contacts the examiner. The doctoral candidate and examiner agree upon a date and time for the examination and the literature included, after which the examiner decides on the place of completion and practical arrangements. · The examination literature may include one or more books and/or articles. · The examination may be written (e.g., essay or learning journal) or oral, and the number of questions is decided by the examiner. · The examiner will email or otherwise notify the student advisor for postgraduate research education about the completed examination, after which the student advisor will enter the completed credits in WebOodi. The notification must indicate the doctoral candidate’s name (and, preferably, student ID number), examination date, examination result (pass or fail), examination literature, the number of pages and the scope of the examination in credits. Doctoral candidate must complete a compulsory laboratory animal course if the doctoral candidate intends to perform animal experiments. In addition, the studies may include up to six credits earned through clinic or department meetings. The doctoral degree may include up to two credits of supervision provided by the dissertation supervisor. Doctoral studies may also include five credits of studies in university pedagogy or, alternatively, in related administrative training. In addition, the degree may include basic studies in medicine as agreed. Research visits abroad and presentations or poster presentations held at international scientific conferences may be included in doctoral studies if the doctoral candidate is the first or second author of the presentation. The maximum number of credits completed this way is 20. In addition, doctoral studies may include up to ten credits earned from presentations and poster presentations held at Finnish conferences. How to count study credits (Doctor of Medical Science, Doctor of Dental Science and PhD) Study credits Doctoral students can gain credits for participating lectures, meetings, conferences, courses, international research visits, and taking book examinations accordingly, if the number of credits (ECTS) or lecture hours are not specified otherwise.

There are also so called Konservatorien in Austria that offer professional music education funded by the provinces or on a private basis. They are able to issue diplomas equivalent to university degrees, although they do not award Bachelor and Master degrees according to the Bologna structure yet. Their focus is also slightly more on the education on pre‐college level. Out of those institutions, two became private universities (Privatuniversitäten). Those two institutions are able to award a Bachelor and Master degree as well. In the 2002 winter term, some 60 Bachelor study programmes were actually run at arts universities. 11% of all types of studies offered are teacher training studies. Doctoral study programmes are run at all arts universities. Students of arts universities must pass an admission test.

  • Svensk– Engelsk
    SVENSK– ENGELSK ORDBOK för utbildningsområdet REDIGERAD OCH PUBLICERAD AV INTERNATIONELLA PROGRAMKONTORET PÅ UTBILDNINGSDEPARTEMENTETS UPPDRAG Innehållsförteckning 1. Inledning 2. Ordbok 3. Skolrelaterade uttryck 4. Förklaringar 5. Examina inom högskolan 6. Gymnasieskolans program 7. Fler ordlistor Inledning Denna ordbok är en reviderad version av Svensk-engelsk ordbok, Utbildningsdepartementet 2003. Ordboken är tänkt att vara ett stöd både för dem som beställer översättningar och för dem som själva skriver texter på engelska eller på annat sätt informerar om det svenska utbildningssystemet på engelska. Ordboken gör inte anspråk på att omfatta samtliga termer inom utbildnings- och forskningsområdet. I slutet av ordboken finns tips på övriga ordböcker/ordlistor. För högskoleområdet är översättningarna genomgående hämtade från den elektroniska ordboken, Svensk-engelsk ordbok för högre utbildning, Högskoleverket Oftast är flera översättningar korrekta rent språkligt, men vissa översättningar beskriver den svenska situationen bättre och är därför att föredra. Om flera översättningsmöjligheter anges, rekommenderar vi användningen av det första alternativet i Ordboken innehåller även en kort förteckning över skolrelaterade engelska ord och uttryck samt deras svenska översättning. Det är ord som ofta förekommer i engelska texter men som inte har en självklar översättning eller som kan orsaka andra problem vid översättning till svenska. Vissa termer har markerats med en asterisk. Det handlar om termer som beskriver specifikt svenska förhållanden och som därför kan behöva förklaras i översättningen. En förteckning över dessa termer återfinns i slutet av ordboken. Översättningen av ett och samma ord skiljer sig i vissa fall åt beroende på skolform och utbildningsnivå, och ett typexempel är ”rektor”. För dessa ord har vi angett vad som gäller inom skolan (skol), inom högskolan (univ), inom vuxenutbildningen (vux) respektive inom folkhögskolan (fhsk).
