Association of Doctoral Students at the University of Helsinki

● Printing support for PhD theses has dropped from 1000 € to 250 € and is only usable at Unigrafia. The support covers the mandatory 20 copies of the thesis.
● PhD students have representatives at all doctoral schools (Kumpula: Teemu Saksala) and programmes (PAPU: Antti Rantala). We also have a representative at the department board (Aki Kallonen) but no one at the faculty board. We also lack representation at the university board.
● Big wheel: The required credits for a PhD degree will drop down to 30+10.
● Central administration plans to centralize the application procedures to doctoral programmes, i.e. application would be possible only twice a year for all schools. The association and the doctoral school representatives were against these plans.
