Just to clear up:
 "pro gradu" = "after graduation"
 "pro gradu" = term for Master's Thesis in Finnish universities
 Master = the lowest "higher" academic level of graduation
 Ph.D = Doctor of Philosophy, in Finnish "Fil. tri"
 PhD Thesis = the thesis you write before dissertation, in order to 
  	      graduate as a doctor.
