Kauppatieteiden tohtoriohjelma

Transkriptio

1 Kauppatieteiden tohtoriohjelma Kauppatieteiden tohtoriohjelma tuottaa perinteiset kauppatieteelliset oppiainerajat ylittävää ja kansainväliset vaatimukset täyttävää liiketaloudellista tutkimusosaamista. Tohtoriohjelmassa jatkoopiskelijat tekevät kummallakin kampuksella määritellyn tutkimusprofiilin suuntaista tutkimusta tavoitteenaan joko kauppatieteiden lisensiaatin tai kauppatieteiden tohtorin tutkinto. Tohtoriopinnoissa voi suuntautua viidelle suuntautumisalueelle: 1. Business Studies, Innovation Management (Kuopio campus) 2. Business Studies, International Business and Sales Management (Kuopio campus) 3. Liiketaloustiede, palvelujohtaminen / Business Studies, Service Management (Joensuun kampus) 4. Liiketaloustiede, taloushallinto ja rahoitus / Business Studies, Accounting and Finance (Kuopion kampus) 5. Liiketaloustiede, yritysoikeus ja -talous / Business Studies, Business and Law (Joensuun kampus) Tohtoriohjelman sisällölliset painotukset tekevät Itä-Suomen yliopiston tohtoriohjelmasta erilaisen verrattuna muiden suomalaisten kauppatieteellisten yksiköiden tohtoriohjelmiin. Jatko-opintojen tavoitteena on yleinen perehtyneisyys kauppatieteiden tutkimukselliseen perustaan, teoriasuuntauksiin ja tutkimusmenetelmiin siten, että opinnot antavat valmiudet lisensiaatintutkimuksen tai väitöskirjan tekemiseen. Lisäksi opiskelija syventää osaamistaan valitsemansa suuntautumisvaihtoehdon tutkimusalalla. Tohtoriohjelmassa kannustetaan opiskelijoita kansainvälistymiseen: kansainvälisiin opintosuorituksiin ja tutkijavaihtoon, kansainvälisissä konferensseissa esiintymiseen ja julkaisemiseen kansainvälisillä foorumeilla sekä kansainvälisissä tutkijaverkostoissa toimimiseen. Tohtoriohjelman tavoitetutkinnot Kauppatieteiden tohtoriohjelmassa voidaan suorittaa kauppatieteiden lisensiaatin (KTL) tai tohtorin tutkinto (KTT) tai filosofian tohtorin (FT) tutkinto. Jatko-opintokelpoisuus ja valintaperusteet 1) Suomalaisen ylemmän kauppatieteellisen yliopistotutkinnon suorittaneet, joiden pro gradu - tutkielma on arvosteltu pääsääntöisesti vähintään hyvin tiedoin (useampiportaisessa asteikossa vähintään cum laude approbatur) ja pääaineopinnot on suoritettu pääsääntöisesti vähintään hyvin tiedoin. 2) Suomalaisen ylemmän yliopistotutkinnon suorittaneet, joiden pro gradu -tutkielma on arvosteltu pääsääntöisesti vähintään hyvin tiedoin (useampiportaisessa asteikossa vähintään cum laude approbatur) ja pääaineopinnot on suoritettu vähintään hyvin tiedoin. Hakijalta edellytetään, että tutkimustyö liittyy johonkin tohtoritutkinnon suuntautumisalueeseen ja että hakijalla on tämän suuntautumisalueen edellyttämät valmiudet. 3) Soveltuvan ulkomaisen koulutuksen suorittaneet, joiden koulutus antaa asianomaisessa maassa kelpoisuuden tohtoritutkintoon tähtääviin korkeakouluopintoihin. Ulkomaisen tohtoritutkintokelpoisuuden antavan koulutuksen suorittaneiden tulee osoittaa tutkimusvalmiutensa pääainekokonaisuudella (sisältäen pro gradua vastaavan tutkielman tai muun vastaavan näytön), joka on suoritettu pääsääntöisesti vähintään hyvin tiedoin ennen tohtoriohjelmaan hakemista. Jos pro gradua vastaava tutkielma tai muu näyttö on muun kuin suomen-, ruotsin- tai englanninkielinen, edellytetään siitä hakemuksen liitteeksi englanninkielinen yhteenveto. Hakijalta edellytetään, että tutkimustyö liittyy johonkin tohtoritutkinnon suuntautumisalueeseen ja että hakijalla on tämän suuntautumisalueen edellyttämät valmiudet. 4) Kansainvälisesti akkreditoidun (AMBA, AACSB) yliopistotasoisen Master of Business Administration (MBA) -ohjelman suorittaneet, mikäli he voivat osoittaa, että heidän

2 pääainekokonaisuutensa vastaa tarvittavien opintosuoritusten täydentämisten jälkeen suomalaisen ylemmän kauppatieteellisen tutkinnon pääainekokonaisuuden tasoa (sisältäen pro gradua vastaavan tutkielman) ennen tohtoriohjelmaan hakemista. Hakijan on liitettävä hakemukseen ehdotus pääaineen/suuntautumisalueen kokonaisuudeksi. Jos pro gradua vastaava tutkielma on muun kuin suomen-, ruotsin- tai englanninkielinen, edellytetään liitteeksi englanninkielinen yhteenveto. Sekä MBA-ohjelma että täydennykset tulee olla suoritettu pääsääntöisesti vähintään hyvin tiedoin. 5) Suomalaisen tai ulkomaisen ylemmän ammattikorkeakoulututkinnon suorittaneet, joiden tutkinto sisältää pro gradua vastaavan tutkielman tai muun näytön. Tutkintoon sisältyvien pääainekokonaisuuden opintojen sekä tutkielman on oltava suoritettu pääsääntöisesti vähintään hyvin tiedoin ennen tohtoriohjelmaan hakemista. Ylemmän ammattikorkeakoulututkinnon suorittaneiden hakijoiden tulee huomioida, että tohtoriohjelman johtaja toteaa suoritetun koulutuksen antamat valmiudet tohtorikoulutukseen ja suuntautumisalueen vastuuprofessori voi tarvittaessa määrätä täydentäviä opintoja. 6) Kauppatieteellisen alan suomalaisen tai ulkomaisen lisensiaatin tutkinnon suorittaneet. 7) Muun kuin kauppatieteellisen alan suomalaisen tai ulkomaisen lisensiaatin tai tohtorin tutkinnon suorittaneet. Hakijalta edellytetään, että tutkimustyö liittyy johonkin tohtoritutkinnon suuntautumisalueeseen ja että hakijalla on tämän suuntautumisalueen edellyttämät valmiudet. Tarvittaessa suuntautumisalueen vastuuprofessori määrää täydentäviä opintoja. 8) Jatko-opiskelijaksi hakevalle tulee olla osoitettavissa kaksi ohjaajaa. 9) Tutkimussuunnitelman laatu. Tutkimusaiheen tulee olla tieteellisesti ja käytännöllisesti relevantti sekä soveltua kauppatieteiden laitoksen tutkimuksen painoaloihin. Tutkimussuunnitelman tulee olla laadukas sisältäen mm. seuraavat näkökohdat: tutkimusaiheen innovatiivisuus, tutkimussuunnitelman realistisuus sekä tutkimussuunnitelman selkeys ja toteutustapa, tutkimuseettisten kysymysten huomioiminen. Lisäksi huomioidaan näytöt aikaisemmasta tutkimustyöstä. Tohtoriohjelmaan hakeminen Kauppatieteiden tohtoriohjelmaan haettaessa tutkimussuunnitelma tulee laatia pääsääntöisesti englanninkielellä, koska kauppatieteiden tohtorikoulutus on englanninkielinen. Tutkimusaihe tulee valita siten, että tutkimusaiheesta on mahdollista tehdä kansainvälisiä artikkelijulkaisuja. Tutkimusaiheen tulee liittyä kauppatieteiden laitoksen tutkimuksen painoaloihin. Hakuajat lukuvuoden opiskelija-valinnoissa päättyvät marraskuussa ja huhtikuussa. Suuntautumisen vaihtaminen kauppatieteiden tohtoriohjelman sisällä Suuntautumisen vaihtoa voi hakea kerran tohtorin tutkinnon opintojen aikana. Suuntautumisen vaihtoa haetaan vapaamuotoisella hakemuksella, jonka liitteinä tulee olla päivitetty jatkoopintosuunnitelma, tutkimussuunnitelma ja ohjaavan professorin hyväksyntä. Suuntautumisen vaihtaminen edellyttää keskustelua ohjaajien kanssa. Suuntautumisen vaihtoa haetaan kerran lukukaudessa jatko-opiskelijavalintojen yhteydessä. Vapaamuotoiset hakemukset perusteluineen toimitetaan yhteiskuntatieteiden ja kauppatieteiden tiedekunnan opintopäällikölle. Jatkotutkinnon vaatimukset Tohtoriohjelmassa suoritettavat kauppatieteiden lisensiaatin tai tohtorin tutkintoon johtavat opinnot rakentuvat lisensiaatintutkimuksen tai väitöskirjan lisäksi vaadittavista yleisistä valmiustaitoopinnoista (10 op) sekä tieteen ja tutkimusalan opinnoista (30 op), yhteensä opintojen laajuus on 40 op: Kauppatieteiden tohtori / lisensiaatti Yleiset valmiustaito-opinnot, 10 op Tieteen ja tutkimusalan opinnot, 30 op
