about doctoral programme

PhD studies at the Faculty of Engineering are closely linked with our research initiatives and departments. The doctoral education programme combines academics with methodological schooling and hands-on experience.

The typical length for the PhD programme is three years, but the position can be extended to 4 years in connection with a 25% work requirement which is often fulfilled through teaching.

It is comprised of one semester of additional study and 2.5 years of dissertation work and research. Each doctoral candidate's study is typically financed by a research fellowship. PhD fellowships are published at www.ntnu.edu/vacancies

Coordination and assistance

The programme of study is coordinated at the department level, and doctoral thesis topics will normally be related to research and development projects at a department or associated research groups. As such, the department level is the place to seek help finding a supervisor within a particular discipline, and can also assist with general inquiries before applying.
