FDPE arranges 4-5 field courses on varying topics each year. All courses are given in English.

The aim is to provide field courses that match the special courses available during the same academic year. Field courses provide essential background for special courses that deal with similar topics and/or use similar techniques. It is therefore strongly recommendable to view field and special courses as a package.

Field courses are intensive courses. Thus, it is strongly recommended that students acquaint themselves with the required readings before attending the courses.

Field courses organized by FDPE can be included in the student-specific field of studies. These courses have to be accepted as part of the doctoral studies by the students’ home department before the grades can be registered. Students' home departments are responsible for registering the grades according to their own requirements. FDPE gives the students, on request, a certificate of the courses passed within the programme.

Doctoral students not enrolled in FDPE, including students in foreign universities, are able to attend individual courses. See "How to Apply for the FDPE courses".
