As Norway's primary university for the study of science, engineering and technology, and with equally strong arts and humanities programmes, NTNU is eager to welcome international PhD candidates to our research community. The university offers degrees in a range of doctoral programmes.
A master’s degree or similar qualifications enables you to apply for a PhD programme in a field related to your degree. The university typically allows 3 years for the completion of a PhD, but the position can be extended to 4 years, including a 25 percent work requirement that’s often fulfilled by teaching.
Successful graduates are qualified to conduct research in an academic setting, although more and more NTNU PhDs find themselves at work in the business world – whether pursuing innovative search engine applications at multinational giants like Microsoft or Google, developing new approaches to designing marine structures for groups like Aker Kværner, or managing and developing oil and gas fields for companies such as StatoilHydro.
High wages, worker rights
In contrast to the United States and a range of European countries, Norway offers its PhD candidates staff positions at the university, with good pay and a range of benefits. In fact, Norway’s PhD students are among the best paid in the world.
As staff members, PhD students are covered by the Working Environment Act (pdf) and the Civil Service Act, which together guarantee a range of workers’ rights in connection with everything from temporary positions to pay for illness and permitted leave (such as maternity leave). PhD candidates are also welcomed as full employees in their respective departments.
