Student Positions at TUCS
Funding
TUCS can provide full economic support up to four years for full-time graduate studies and research via employment at one of the participating universities. Doctoral students who get a salary are entitled to all the benefits of the Finnish employment relationship, including occupational health care. The final salary level is determined according to the principles of the new salary system in the Finnish universities and relates to qualifications and study progress of the student.
TUCS Status
Students with other sources of funding can also be accepted to Graduate Programme. Students with TUCS status are entitled to all the benefits that come with the student position, excluding salary. Typically, they are funded directly by the laboratories via employment to a research project or various scholarship arrangements with external funding agencies.
