Attendance registration of doctoral researchers

All degree students must register as attending or non-attending for each academic year, regardless of whether they are pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s or doctoral degree. This page provides information on the attendance registration of doctoral researchers.

Academic year and teaching periods

When does the academic year begin? Does the University have summer or Christmas holidays? This page provides information about the schedules for the academic year and teaching periods.

Order a certificate of student status

With a certificate of student status you can prove that you are a student at the University of Helsinki. The certificate of student status contains information about your study rights at the University of Helsinki and the status of them.

Resuming doctoral studies

Have you taken a break from your studies? Did you forget to register for the academic year? If you have interrupted your studies or failed to register for the academic year annually, you must apply for the reinstatement of your right to pursue doctoral studies.
