The tuition fees for international Master's degree programmes at the University of Turku will be €8,000 – €16,000 depending on the programme. The fees are collected from non-EU/EEA students from 1 August 2017 onwards. At the same time, a new scholarship programme will be launched with the aim of supporting student recruitment and getting talented students to the University of Turku.
Sabrina Maniscalco is the Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Turku.
The University of Turku is among 350 best universities in the world according to the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings.
Fishing typically removes large individuals from the population. Over time, this leads to evolutionary shrinking of fish and also erodes the natural genetic diversity of fish stocks. New study from the University of Turku shows that removal of the largest individuals from populations can decrease variability in fish size which in turn can hinder their adaptation to environmental changes.
Sports services are from this autumn onwards organised jointly with other higher education institutions in Turku. CampusSport offers a large variety of courses, lessons and activities all around the city.
Social sciences and humanities meeting of the Coimbra Group was organised at the University of Turku 15–16 September 2016. Researchers gathered together to share best practices in interdisciplinary research.
A Finnish-American research group has discovered a new, significant way to enhance the treatment of estrogen receptor (ER+) breast cancer. By using an animal model, they detected that if epigenetic alterations occurred during offspring's early development due to the mother's high level of estrogen, the impact of hormonal therapies can be enhanced with epigenetic medicine.
The viral hit of last summer, Pokémon GO, took over conversations, app store charts and the columns of magazines in search of summer stories.
The International Conference on Arabidopsis Research regularly brings together over 800 scientists from all corners of the world for five days to discuss all aspects of molecular plant science from research on plant growth and development to improving plant tolerance to adverse environmental conditions.
The conference is centered on all aspects of modern plant biology using thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) as a model system.
What if we could create more powerful solar panels, find materials to replace rare metals in chemical industry, create lighter means of transport, or save nature? All this can be helped with the method Doctoral Candidate Henrik Levämäki has created for computational modelling of materials. The method makes the use of density functional theory more accurate than before.
