The University of Vaasa’s industry-integrated CoDoc doctoral education model is expanding in collaboration with Vaasa University of Applied Sciences and Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences. This strategic doctoral pathway combines the research strength of the university with the practical, work-oriented approach of universities of applied sciences, offering a resource-smart solution that strengthens Finland’s competitiveness toward the 6% R&D target, accelerates doctoral education, and enhances RDI capabilities. A key new element is the expansion of the flexible PreDoc pathway, now open from UAS studies all the way to a doctorate. PreDoc and CoDoc open doors to cutting-edge research, networks, and career opportunities already at the early stages of studies.
