• If you are attending a PhD programme, you have to upload a confirmation of admission from your institution.  You do not have to document that you fulfill the English language requirement. 
• If you are not attending a PhD programme, you have to upload documentation of your master's degree (both in the original language and a certified translation to English/a Scandinavian language).
  • If you have education from a country outside Norway/the Nordic countries, you also have to upload documentation showing that you cover the English language requirement.
• If you apply for courses with previous knowledge requirements, you have to upload documentation showing that you fulfill these requirements. You can find information about previous knowledge requirements on the course web pages.

All documentation must be uploaded to "My Documents" in Søknadsweb. 

If you have completed a master's degree at NTNU, you can apply for an active student status via Søknadsweb instead.

You are exempted from paying the semester fee when you document admission to a PhD programme. 

Other applicants have to pay the semester fee, which you can do on Studentweb after having received admission. Please note that you have to pay the semester fee if you want to take courses that are not a part of your PhD programme.

You can send questions about payment of the semester fee to kontakt@sa.ntnu.no.

External candidates from educational institutions outside the EU/EEA who are on research stays at NTNU can apply for PhD courses if they document their research stay/cooperation with NTNU (e.g. with a confirmation from a department at NTNU).

Other applicants from countries and educational institutions outside the EU/EEA are referred to PhD exchange agreements, and should contact the Office of International Relations at NTNU.

You need to apply through Søknadsweb if you want to take courses that are not a part of your PhD programme. Choose "Single courses" → "PhD courses for external candidates". Please note that you then have to pay the semester fee. 

If you want to take courses before you are formally admitted to a PhD programme you have to apply through Søknadsweb. Choose "Single courses" → "PhD courses for external candidates". When your application is granted you should be able to generate the invoice in Studentweb.

You have to pay the semester fee until you have been formally admitted.
