Information systems

Belongs to themes:

By selecting a degree programme you are able to see the general content as well as the possible degree programme-specific content. You do not have to select a degree programme to see the Open University's instructions.
  • Instructions for Students. The Instructions for Students service (which you currently have open) provides you with almost all the instructions related to the completion of a doctoral degree.
  • Thessa. Thessa is an electronic tool for the planning and monitoring of thesis writing and doctoral studies. Thessa is used for drawing up the supervision agreement, keeping score of the progress of your thesis work and drawing up an annual report before the next thesis committee meeting.
  • Sisu. Sisu is the University's online service where you will find the course catalogue of your doctoral programme.
  • Flamma. Flamma is the University’s intranet mostly meant to be used by University staff. Students also have access to Flamma but it does not contain instructions related to doctoral studies.
  • Research Portal. The University’s public Research Portal provides information on the University’s researchers and their activities. Each doctoral researcher also has a personal profile page in the Research Portal, and keeping it updated is your responsibility.
  • TUHAT Research Database. The TUHAT Research Database is a background system of the Research Portal through which you can update your information displayed in the portal.
  • Helpdesk. The University’s Helpdesk assists you with issues related to the University’s information systems. On the Helpdesk website you will find comprehensive instructions for using, for example, your email account or the software used at the University.
