departments participating in COMAS provide teaching
and guidance to the students.
COMAS is also advised and evaluated by
Scientific Advisory Board, whose members are
internationally acknowledged scholars.
The departments have active
international collaboration, and lectures by the
visiting international scholars frequently
complement the local instruction. COMAS also
participates in the arrangements of the annual
Jyväskylä
Summer School, whose postgraduate-level
lectures in various fields of science attract
yearly more than 250 students from about 40
countries.
COMAS students mostly conduct their work
in research projects in close collaboration with
senior researchers. This provides the students with
an active and supportive research environment, and
assures that their work progresses in a purposive
manner.
COMAS admits
students to the Ph.D. programmes internationally
usually twice a year. The closing date of
application for studies starting in January 2006 is
