Applying for the Title of Docent at the Faculty of Medicine

The University may award the title of docent (dosentti in Finnish) to a person who has comprehensive knowledge of their own field, a capacity for independent research or artistic work demonstrated through publication or some other manner, and good teaching skills.

Since 1 January 2010, a docent is no longer in an employment relationship with the University solely on the basis of the docentship.
