Application procedures and instructions
 |
Admission to the PhD programme is formally administered by Programutvalget for doktorgradsutdanning (PDU - the Doctoral Programme Board), but the individual evaluation of faculty members from the particular research group within which an applicant wishes to pursue his/her education is important in the decision making process.
Applications are welcomed from Norwegian and international applicants who meet our admission requirements.
To be considered for admission, applicants must meet all the admission requirements for the programme.
Applicants who wish also to apply for one of the Research Scholarships must fulfill the admission requirements for the PhD programme and any additional requirements for the Research Scholarship applied for. These applicants must indicate on the application form which research scholarship they are applying for.
The following documents must be included as attachments with the online application:
- Statement of purpose
- Research proposal
- Scanned copies of transcripts and diplomas
- Curriculum Vitae (CV)
- Documentation of funding - only applies to those not seeking a Research Scholar position
Please prepare these documents as electronic files before starting the online application.
Applications will not be considered complete until all the required information has been received, and incomplete applications will not be evaluated.
A link to the online applications form will appear on the nhh-website approximately two months before the deadline.
