Applying for promotion to professor?
The deadline to submit applications for personal promotion to full professor on the basis of competence is 30 November 2025.
You can only apply for promotion to professor within the discipline in which you are employed. Applicants in 2025 will be assessed according to the Regulations to the Act relating to universities and university colleges of 1 August 2024, revised on 1 August 2025 - concerning appointment and promotion to teaching and research posts.
Please note that the regulations include requirements for educational and pedagogical competence, as well as a new requirement for proficiency in Norwegian or another Scandinavian language at the B2 level.
NHH’s internal guidelines, which supplement and clarify chapter 3 of the central regulations, are currently being revised, but no significant changes will be made beyond the language proficiency requirement.
