UTUGradu

All the faculties and departments of the University of Turku transferred to the UTUGradu electronic thesis process for the higher academic degree on 1 August 2018.

UTUGradu process includes an electronic originality check (plagiarism detection), examination and approval process, electronic publication, and electronic archiving.

⇒ All higher academic degree theses (Master's) are electronically available, meaning theses will no longer be printed and the availability of theses improves significantly.

⇒ Ensuring long-term storage of theses (PDF/A format). 

⇒ The approval process of theses will become more standardised.

⇒ In addition, UTUGradu ensures that all the examiners and approvers can always access the same document which will also be archived  in the Library’s publication repository.

• IT Services is in charge of the planning and realisation of the technical environment.
• Educational Affairs is responsible for planning the introduction (customer service and trainings) and for the electronic originality check as part of the process.
• Library is responsible for verifying the bibliographic information and transferring the theses to the publication repository UTUPub.
