Registration for exams

Deadlines for registrations

  • February 1 (spring semester)
  • September 15 (autumn semester)

Note that you must be formally admitted to a PhD programme before you can register for courses.
Also note that an identity card is mandatory on the day of examination.

NTNU uses the e-learning system Blackboard as a way for students and teachers to communicate.
 

Changes in the academic training plan

If you need to make changes in your academic training plan:

  • Read about the requirements.
  • Find the application form in the list of forms.

 

Progress report

PhD candidates are required to deliver an annual progress report to the Faculty, comparing progress to date with the PhD plan. The report will be treated confidentially. The supervisor does not have right to access the candidate's report. The candidate's supervisor delivers a similar report about the candidate's progress.

The candidates will receive an electronic form for the report by e-mail during the fall semester.

 

Leave of absence

Leave of absence may be granted for maternity/paternity leave, illness and for other reasons. Doctoral candidates not employed by the faculty must apply for prolongation of their study right.
