Postgraduate studies

Post-masters-level or postgraduate degrees available in the discipline of psychology include licentiate and doctoral degrees in psychology as well as Ph.D. Postgraduate studies that can be completed either as a full-time researcher or while working elsewhere. All doctoral students at the University of Turku belong to the University of Turku Graduate School (UTUGS) and one of its doctoral programmes.

​Psychology is among the disiciplines of the Doctoral Programme of Social and Behavioural Sciences of the faculty of social sciences as well as the Doctoral Programme in Clinical Investigation (CLIDP, Faculty of Medicine). The field of psychology also has a national doctoral programme of psychology (DOPSY) until the end of 2015, but no new students are admitted.

The degree of licentiate of psychology can be completed as a four-year specialist training programme in one of the following fields: developmental and educational psychology, health psychology, neuropsychology, psychotherapy, and work and organizational psychology. This specialist training is organized by Psykonet , the cooperation network of all six Finnish psychology departments/disciplines.

All information on postgraduate/doctoral studies at the faculty are available on the websites of the faculty , the faculty's doctoral programme and the UTUGS.  For more information on becoming a doctoral student, please go through the faculty's website. You should also contact the discipline's staff in advance.

Education in psychology is primarily aimed at leading up to professional competence in psychology. The high quality of the education rests on cooperation with the six Finnish departments/sections of psychology through the Psykonet network.

Research in psychology straddles the borders of several fields of science. Psychology studies human activities and their general principles by asking questions such as the following:

How does the human mind work? How does the brain operate? What is it that makes humans function? Why do humans behave as they do? How does the human mind develop over a lifetime? What causes various emotions? How does human behaviour change when in company? How do the functions of the mind and behaviour vary from one individual to another?

The human mind and human behaviour are studied in all possible walks of life and in a number of different situations: in traffic, in school, in a sports team, in meetings as well as in states of depression, happiness, inebriation and anger.

Data science by people for people

Successful introduction of artificial intelligence ultimately depends on humans’ beliefs and adoption behavior. The Psychology of AI lab is a group of interdisciplinary experts examining the human side of data and AI.

While research in information systems, computer science, and other disciplines focuses on the technical computations of algorithms and the output that they deliver, we focus on the humans who interpret and interact with AI and algorithmic advice.

We work with numerous stakeholders, such as employers, employees, customers, policy makers, and AI-developers and study a variety of topics, including: consumer acceptance of AI solutions, and of automated products; employee beliefs about technological replacement of human labor, and how analysts make sense of data and AI.

From an organizational perspective, data application projects and AI-driven innovations are only successful when they are positively received and correctly used by employers, employees and customers. Important psychological processes such as social comparison, attribution, need for uniqueness, and self-consciousness explain how individuals react to, and think about, intelligent machines. We conduct experiments with human participants and apply a behavioral science approach to AI

From a societal perspective, current forecasts show that significant sections of the labor force will disappear or change, due to the increasing ability of robots and algorithms to automate tasks. Regardless of whether this displacement will be transitional or permanent, it is important for the impact on society to understand potential threats to the psychological wellbeing of affected individuals. Our lab investigates the psychological consequences of technological replacement of human activities.

When the PhD path leads to career struggles

A doctoral degree is a major commitment. Think carefully.

I appreciated reading Kara Miller’s The Big Idea column “PhD: Pretty heavily disappointed” (Business, May 22), about people with doctoral degrees struggling to build careers in academia. It made me think back to a conversation I had when I was about to graduate from high school.

I happened to run into a former track coach of mine, and as we were reminiscing he asked me what I planned as a major in college. “History,” I responded. He said, “Why don’t you take some computer classes also? It never hurts to be able to do something useful.”

I did not reflect on his motivation at the time, but my track coach was a young guy, and he was probably giving me advice straight from his own life, as a parent trying to raise his own young children. I did take computer classes in college and ultimately received a PhD in chemical engineering. I always remember that conversation as being a kind of turning point.

Earning a doctoral degree is a life commitment of great proportion. It can take, as Miller notes, between four and seven years. If we think of working life as roughly between the ages of 22 and 65, then a PhD requires more than 10 percent of a person’s working life. People need to think carefully about that investment.

Two powerful arguments in favor of the path of science, technology, engineering, and math are that there tend to be more STEM jobs for PhDs, and many universities’ STEM departments are generous in covering their PhD students’ tuition and cost of studies, including a stipend toward food, rent, and other expenses.

Stuart Gallant

Not much has changed in 30 years

As I prepared to graduate in 1995 with a doctor of education degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, my mother memorably said to me, “Of my four children, you are the one with the most education and the smallest salary.” Apparently not much has changed in 30 years.

I must congratulate these students, however, on following their passion rather than following the money. I can’t help but think that their lives, though stressful, may contain greater happiness.

Peggy Clark

Lawyers & electricians & philosophers, oh my!

Kara Miller’s column on the career challenges for people with doctoral degrees generated more than 260 comments on Boston.Globe.com. The following is an edited sample of readers’ reactions:

Lots of law school grads are underemployed as well. (PL)

So true, PL. The market in Massachusetts is flooded with talented lawyers seeking work. (Roforma)

Supply and demand, the market at work. (guk)

Investing in education and research in all fields is the hallmark of a society with staying power. Disinvesting from these endeavors signals decline and decay. (Massachusetts citizen)

Electricians, plumbers, mechanics, and other skilled technical professions have no problems getting $100k jobs with great benefits. (ramsen)

Not enough turnover from tenured professors, leaving little space for new faculty. Although the tenured, well-established professors are needed, it’s the junior faculty who are hungry and with new ideas that help build new programs. The whole graduate program model is a bad model. I worked two jobs, had my tuition and some type of minimal student health insurance and could barely cover the rent with my stipend, and the second job paid for everything else. Though I was working on many faculty projects, it was the faculty who said this would be good for me. Never did they say it was also good for them. (TravelerofNJ2)

I just retired from a tenured faculty position in science. I’m in my early 70s. I have colleagues who are still doing what they do well into their 70s, a couple approaching 80. There is no active incentive from the university to move the older faculty on, to make way for a new generation. (Lola-lola)

The next step is for adjuncts to go on strike across the nation and hold colleges and universities accountable. The current system is completely absurd. (Wordsmith2358)

Universities should be required to release disclosure data about the fate of their PhD graduates. (davidman820)

I knew an attorney who managed a Cheesecake Factory. She had worked in food services through school. As an attorney, she really did not make that much money and was not doing the field of law of her choice. How many real estate closings can you do without dying of boredom? She went into management in the food industry and makes the same salary. (Antietem)

It was always a question and puzzling to me why people study philosophy. (Blazer27)
