Fees

As a PhD candidate, you do not have the right or obligation to pay a semester fee. However, PhD candidates who take courses that are not included in the PhD program must pay the semester fee.

If you want to take courses not included in your PhD study, you have to apply for this using Søknadsweb. When your application is granted, you should be able to generate the invoice in Studentweb.

The deadline for registration and payment ia:

  • Spring semester: 1 February
  • Autumn semester: 15 September

 If you encounter problems with this, please send an email to studentweb@adm.ntnu.no.

Funding

Funding is an absolute requirement for acceptance to a PhD programme at NTNU. Unlike in most other countries, PhD candidates in Norway are not considered students and PhD candidates are usually employees of the institution from which they receive their funding.

Most PhD candidates at NTNU are employed as PhD research fellows (stipendiat) at NTNU or a university college.

Available positions are announced at NTNU's web pages and through jobbnorge.

Other sources of funding:

  • by agreement with your regular employer
  • the Research Council of Norway under the Industrial PhD scheme or the Public sector PhD scheme
  • other national or international scholarships

Working in Norway has its benefits and challenges. NTNU International Researcher Support (NIRS) offers counselling services for administrative staff and researchers working at or visiting NTNU. They also have information for people considering NTNU as a workplace and on what to expect with a move to Norway.
