• PhD Study in Norway - A Guide for 2024

Written by Chris Banyard

Studying a PhD in Norway has lots of advantages. Norway has many natural resources and a strong economy yet maintains a welcoming and forward-thinking culture. This is exemplified by its excellent higher education system, which delivers admirable teaching and research. Norway has a small number of universities, yet they often outperform what may be expected of them. Significantly, Norwegian public universities offer free education for their students.

This guide covers everything you’ll need to know about doctoral study in Norway, including information about Norwegian universities, PhD course structure, applications, funding and visas.

PhD opportunities in Norway – what’s on offer for 2024?

Known as a ‘knowledge nation’, Norway prides itself on lifelong learning. Despite the small size of its higher education system, Norway has many world-leading universities that deliver high-quality education.

The country has also produced some amazing artists, thinkers and scientists such as Ludvig Holberg, Edvard Munch, Roald Amundsen, Magnus Carlsen and no less than 13 Nobel Prize winners.

A Norwegian PhD also enables you to study in a beautiful country, with an array of unique natural phenomena that cannot be experienced anywhere else.

There are some fantastic reasons to find your PhD in Norway:

• No tuition fees – There are no tuition fees in the Norwegian Higher Education system. PhD researchers are considered employees and you will earn a doctoral salary and associated worker’s rights
• Happiness – Norway is regularly ranked as a country with the best quality of life in the world
• Natural beauty – Norway is also one of the most beautiful countries in the world. The serene fjords, Arctic tundra, Northern Lights and solar spectacles make it a great place for you to study
• English-speakers – English is widely spoken to an excellent standard in Scandinavia
• Egalitarian society – Equality is a key value of modern Norwegian society, making a it a safe and forward-thinking destination for study
• Unique research location – Norway’s distinctive position between Europe and the Arctic means it can offer specialised training a research in areas such as marine research, energy and climate, medicine and health, food, communication technology, biotechnology, materials science and nanotechnology

And, of course, as an international student in Norway you can imagine yourself carrying on the traditions of Viking adventurers and Polar explorers with your doctoral research (dog-sleds and longboats are optional).

PhD life in Norway

Want to know more about what it's like to live in Norway during a PhD? Our detailed guide covers everything from accommodation and living costs to culture and entertainment.

Norwegian universities

There are four main types of university institution in Norway. The majority are public and state-run but there are a range of private institutions too. Most doctoral students will study at public universities.

• Universities are the main higher education research and teaching institution in Norway. They usually offer a range of postgraduate degrees and have extensive academic powers enabling them to accredit their own programmes. There are ten universities in Norway.
• Specialised universities are much like standard universities but offer postgraduate courses in a focused area of research. There are three of these institutions in Norway.
• University colleges are very similar to universities, except that they are private institutions and must apply for external accreditation. Eight university colleges are accredited.
• Private specialised universities are private higher education institutions in Norway that provide courses in specialised areas of research. Like university colleges, they also require external accreditation. Three private specialised universities are accredited.

Norwegian university cities

There are several cities in Norway with one or more universities and large numbers of students:

• Study in Oslo
• Study in Bergen
• Study in Trondheim
• Study in Tromsø
• Study in Kristiansand

Norwegian university rankings

Although Norway is a small country, its higher education system can challenge those of larger nations and a significant number of Norwegian universities feature in international ranking tables.

Top universities in Norway for PhD study

Here's a little more about the best-ranked universities in Norway, according to the Times Higher Education 2023 World Rankings.

Unviversity of Oslo

Established in 1811, the University of Oslo is a leading research institution in the heart of Norway's capital. Though all of its undergraduate courses are taught in Norweigan, it offers English-taught Masters degrees and PhDs. Oslo is located at the end of the 100km-long Oslo Fjord and is surrounded by stunning forests, hills and coastlines, making it the perfect destination for nature lovers!

University of Bergen

The University of Bergen is a research-instensive university in Norway's second-largest city. It is particularly well-known for its natural science research in areas such as marin biology and climate change. It educates over 20,000 students, and has a thriving international community with around half of doctoral candidates originating from outside of Norway.

Norweigan University of Science and Technology

The Norweigan University of Science and Technology is an internationally-oriented university offering postgraduate courses in English. Its research priorities are mainly in science and technology, but it offers programmes across a wide range of disciplines including arts and humanities.

UiT The Artic University of Norway

UiT is Norway's northernmost university, located on the very edge of the Artic region, which makes it an ideal destination for environmental and climate research. UiT is at the heart of Tromsø, the largest city in northern Norway, which spans two islands.

Accreditation

The state-run public higher education institutes of Norway (universities and specialised universities) have self-accreditation rights and can organise and award their own degrees. Private institutions must have their postgraduate degrees accredited by the Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education (NOKUT). NOKUT has a key role in the governance of all higher education institutions.

PhD structure

Norwegian PhD programmes are third-cycle qualifications following the Bologna process . As such, you will be required to perform research and write a PhD thesis.

Often, PhDs in Norway follow a structured format . This typically involves a training component prior to commencing your doctoral research and thesis writing. You may also be considered a university employee with accompanying employment rights. In this case, you will have teaching and administrative responsibilities to uphold.

A typical full-time PhD in Norway lasts three years . However, for a structured PhD programme with institutional duties and specialist training, you may be employed by your university for four years .

Supervision

Much like in the UK, doctoral students will have a senior researcher as a supervisor. They will regularly oversee and evaluate your research work, project progression and thesis writing. You may also have additional supervisors with specific responsibilities.

Assessment and examination

Your PhD thesis will be read by a committee of at least three senior academics, with a minimum of one external examiner. After the thesis has been examined and approved by the committee, your research must be defended orally through at least one lecture and a public thesis defence before a reviewing committee of institutional opponents.

Fees and funding

An important and appealing aspect of PhD study in Norway is that tuition is free for all students. However, the country has a high cost of living. Therefore, some form of maintenance funding is usually necessary.

Norwegian PhD fees

There are no tuition fees to pay for PhD programmes at universities in Norway. However, at many Norwegian universities you will be expected to pay a €50-100 fee to the student’s union each semester for membership and a student card.

Norwegian PhD funding

Although tuition fees for PhD study are normally free , Norway has a high cost of living. Most doctoral candidate subsidise this either through university employment (and the associated responsibilities) or through part-time work.

However, there are also a limited number of funding opportunities for international students. These are usually intended to corer maintenance costs during your study. Many of these scholarship and grants have important restrictions and prerequisites that should be noted. Examples include:

• EEA / Norway Grants are offered to EEA students studying in Norway.
• The Anglo-Norse Society in London offers bursaries and grants to British students studying in Norway.
• The Erasmus+ scheme can provide funding and Erasmus loans for EEA students studying abroad.

Applying for a PhD in Norway

PhD applications in Norway are processed by individual research institutions. Therefore, the requirements, documentation and deadlines for doctoral programme applications can vary between institutions . Applications should also be made directly to the prospective university .

Admission requirements

PhD applicants in Norway must have a Masters degree in a relevant subject area. A corresponding degree may be acceptable – you can check the eligibility of your qualifications at the Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education (NOKUT).

The specific application requirements vary between research institutions . You should always check with your prospective university.

PhD candidates will usually be required to write a good research proposal or project description and complete relevant application forms. You may also be required to provide other typical PhD application documents . Some additional materials that may be required could include:

• Certified copies of all documents relevant to your educational background
• A funding plan for your studies (for the full 3-4 years of full-time study, plus information about the funding source and type)
• A statement describing any significant scholarly or material resource requirements
• The name of at least one proposed academic supervisor (unless stipulated otherwise)

PhD entry requirements

The general eligibility criteria for PhD applications in Norway is similar to most other countries in the Europe. Our guide explains entry requirements for a prospective PhD student.

Language requirements

Most PhD programmes in Norway are taught in English. Prospective doctoral candidates from non-native English-speaking countries will need to submit scores of English language tests . The test and scores required can vary between different Norwegian research institutions and may even differ depending on the doctoral programme.

Some PhD programmes may be taught in Norwegian. Similarly, the scores of Norwegian language tests will need to be submitted for non-native Norwegian speakers. The scores required differ depending on research institution and programme of study. Even if Norwegian is not the language of instruction, proficiency in Norwegian will come in useful academically and in daily life.

Application process

In Norway, PhD programme applications are formal job applications . To complete admission, a written contract must be signed between the doctoral candidate, your supervisor, and the university or The Research Council of Norway (or an industry partner / funder, if appropriate).

You can find opportunities for PhD study in Norway on individual Norwegian university websites or browse current PhD projects in Norway .

Student visas

Norway is a welcoming country for PhD students, and this is reflected by the relatively simple immigration process. Doctoral candidates will still need to obtain some important travel documents.

Visa information for UK students in Norway

UK students will no longer be EU citizens from the 2021-22 academic year onwards. This means you may be considered as an international student when studying in Norway. You may be subject to different visa requirements and fee rates, unless otherwise stated.

Norwegian visas

PhD students from EU / EEA / Switzerland will not need a visa to travel to Norway; other international students will require a visa to enter the country.

In Norway, visas are only valid for a period of up to 90 days. Instead, you will require a student residence permit, health insurance and a Norwegian identity number.

Your prospective university will be able to advise and assist you with your visa process. More information can also be found at your nearest Norwegian foreign embassy .

Student residence permit

In order to study a PhD in Norway for more than three months, you may require a student residence permit.

For doctoral candidates from EU / EEA nations , you will only need to register with the local police within the first three months of living in Norway.

For doctoral candidates from non-EU / EEA nations , you will need to apply for a student residence permit . To be eligible for this you will need approximately €12,925 to cover living costs. If you are studying at a private university and will be paying tuition fees, you will need additional funds to cover these, too. This money will usually need to be deposited into a Norwegian bank account. There is also a processing fee of around €560 for each application.

Doctoral candidates from Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Sweden) are only required to report their residence to the National Registry .

Health insurance

All doctoral candidates require a form of health insurance to access medical treatment in Norway.

EU / EEA / Swiss students that hold a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) are eligible for health treatment in Norway. If you do not have an EHIC, you must have another form of medical insurance.

Non-EU / EEA / Swiss international PhD students (who are studying in Norway for more than one year) will be insured under the Norwegian National Insurance Scheme upon registering at a research institution and receiving a student residence permit.

Nordic students (Danish, Finnish, Icelandic and Swedish) automatically become entitled to healthcare upon registering in the National Population Register.

Norwegian identity number

To live in Norway for more than six months, you will also be required to report your move and receive a Norwegian Identity Number. To do this, you must book an appointment at a Norwegian Tax Office before you move in order to report your relocation within eight days of arrival.

The documents that are usually required to report you move are:

• Your passport or national ID card
• Police registration certificate
• Property contract (purchase or rental)
• Employment contract (for employed PhD students)
• Confirmation of study place offer
• Any other additional documents (this will be requested by the Norwegian Tax Administration)

This will enable you to open a Norwegian bank account and receive a student card.

Studying a PhD in Norway provides an opportunity for globally-recognised high-quality research and should be a considerable qualification for future work.

As an employed doctoral researcher in Norway, you will receive professional experience of Norwegian work that will be useful for future endeavours.

Norway welcomes international workers, and the immigration process is relatively simple. The country has a highly-regarded welfare and social system with many benefits.

Can I work in Norway after my PhD?

It is normally possible to continue to work in Norway once your doctoral programme is completed. In addition to the other international documents outlined in the student visas section , you will also need to:

• Have a tax deduction card
• Submit tax returns
• Receive tax assessment notices

More information can be found at the Norwegian Tax Administration or at New in Norway .

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 own 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 work place and on what to expect with a move to Norway.

Supervision

It is important that you get in touch with the research group and find a potential supervisor as early in the process as possible. The main supervisor should be ready when you apply for the programme, and you should have at least two academic supervisors. By contacting the department or browsing their web pages you should be able to find information on the academic staff, their field of research and who might be of interest to you and your project. If you are employed as part of a larger research project, your main supervisor will usually be part of the project group. At least one of your supervisors, usually your main supervisor, must be employed at NTNU. This also applies for externally funded PhD candidates.

Your application is written up in cooperation with your main supervisor. Acceptance to a PhD-programme is done continuously throughout the academic year and is not restricted to the beginning of term. In addition to the fixed application form , your application must contain:

• Documentation of former education qualifying you for a PhD, along with any diploma supplement and/or NOKUT assessment if available
• Documentation of education obtained outside of Norway
• Documentation of funding for the entire PhD-period
• Project description, either complete or preliminary. If you are allowed to hand in a preliminary project description, a complete version must be made available within six months of admission.

You should also detail any legal or ethical issues related to the project. If the project is dependent on approval by ethical committees or other government entities or private individuals, such approval should be enclosed with the application if possible. The individual faculty or programme may have their own application form or procedures.

The application is sent to the faculty through the department. You can find more information about the process and procedures at the individual programme's web site or by contacting the faculty directly.

Financial aspects are the primary concern considered by students considering gaining an international education.

FAQs: Applying for Scholarships in Norway

What are the advantages of studying higher education in norway.

Norway boasts a lavish educational setup with its multilingual courses and specialized programs. Several Norwegian institutions, such as NTNU and the University of Oslo , are constant favorites among global rankings for their outstanding education and degrees that are acknowledged all over the globe.

Some of Norway’s strong education subject areas are marine science, renewable energy, and technology. This is due to the country’s profusion of top-notch universities and their exceptional academics, making the country an excellent choice for overseas students. Its educational institutions prioritize research-based, collaborative learning that fosters analytical thinking and practical skills.

Another big advantage is for EU/EEA students, education in public universities of Norway is free , but a significant tuition fee is required from applicants from other countries. Its massive Scholarships and focus on research are some additional benefits of Norway’s higher education.

Are There Scholarships Available for International Students in Norway?

Yes, there are a variety of scholarships offered to international students, with full-funding and partial-funding options available. Financial aid programs are conducted for international students to give financial support to international students so they can pursue higher education. However, no government-funded scholarships are available for foreign applicants at the moment. They can look for external options or university-led scholarships.

Take a PhD at UiB!

PhD education gives you the possibility of working in academia and doing in-depth research on the field of your interest. A need for challenging research in climate change combined with the prospects of a good work-life balance brought Ina Nagler from Austria and the Netherlands to a PhD programme in Bergen. 

Main content

Originally from Austria, Ina considered several options before she ended up on the west coast of Norway. She has always had a fascination for the country, but the research environment was more decisive.  - I also knew that the salary was good, and that work-life balance was valued. I believe that you should enjoy what you’re doing, without working yourself to death, says Ina. 

Super-nice work environment

In Austria PhDs are paid little and used as cheap labour, Ina explains. In Norway, PhDs are paid an ordinary salary.  Her work is on climate change, which is a big, cross-disciplinary topic at the University of Bergen.  - I am working on how climate change will affect our ocean currents. And I am specifically looking at the North Atlantic subpolar gyre.  This gyre is a cold, circulating ocean current south of Iceland, Greenland and the coast of Canada.  - I am looking for changes in the ocean circulation in models, and then I will look for similar processes in paleo reconstructions.  She will specifically look at how the subpolar gyre interacts with the rest of the system during changes. There will be signs of these processes in paleo archives found in sediments on the sea bottom. This can confirm both if the climate models are working well, and if the interpretation of paleo-data is correct. 

People are all very friendly and welcoming. When I accepted the job offer, I felt like it could provide me with this challenge that I need to thrive, but also a general feeling of belonging and contentment, in a way

- A direct comparison of the physical processes within models and paleo data has not been done yet and may lead to surprises. 

Ina has only positive things to say about her colleagues: - It’s a super-nice work environment. I’m part of the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, so I came quickly in contact with different scientist working on the big issues of climate change. People know each other, and you can just go and talk with them. People are all very friendly and welcoming.  When I got the job, the deciding factor was the feeling that I got during the interview. It was a committee of five people, and I felt like they could provide me with this challenge that I need to thrive, but also a general feeling of belonging and contentment, in a way. Happiness!

- And I love being by the sea and in the craziest nature at the same time! Bergen is still big enough that you don’t feel that there is nothing to do. I was a bit scared about the night life and a lack of cultural experiences, but I have found that there are nice places to go to, and the cultural life is surprisingly good. 

Although working hard on her project she doesn’t work excessively long hours.  - I am surprised how much you are encouraged to take time off. I normally start at 8 am every day, and go home at 4 pm, she says.  There are many other PhDs at the university, and Ina normally has lunch with the others on her floor.  - We’re like 8 people, and we go on weekend trips and hikes together, and we drink together. There’s a huge international culture here. So even if you’re an international student here you don’t have to be afraid to be alone. Some people say it’s difficult to get in touch with Norwegians, but personally, I haven’t experienced this.

Ina recommends a PhD in Bergen for other students:  - Given that you’re confident about working independently, and that you feel at ease with your supervisor: Sure! And the most important thing is that you like to dive into a topic and enjoy finding out new things so much that you will endure setbacks that might come.  The mix of staff was a positive experience for her:  - I am surprised by how many female staff there are here in Bergen. There is still room for improvement, but the university is clear on wanting to improve the still existing gender imbalance.

She has meetings with her supervisor once a week.  - I was afraid of not knowing how to do a PhD. But my supervisor told me from the beginning that we’re together on this, and he helps me. 

Ina also tries to communicate with as many of her colleagues as possible, both PhDs and post-docs, and she gets tips from them on what they would have done differently in their PhDs.  - But I haven’t started teaching yet. But there is a PhD forum where you meet once a month and learn skills. We had one seminar on mental well-being, but also one on how to write a CV. Last month they went to a mountain and made a fire, so it’s diverse! If you want, you can go to a seminar every day. 

Now, she has a good feeling about her whole PhD.  - I feel confident about the work on my project. To be a PhD you need to be sure that you can work independently. And if you have a good supervisor by your side, there is nothing that can go wrong!

Why become a doctoral candidate at UiB?

Do you have a master’s degree, and want to pursue your research interest even further? Do you like varied work with the chance of doing research, dissemination and teaching?

PhD education gives you the possibility of working in academia and doing in-depth research on the field of your interest. You will be paid during the three or four years of your doctoral education.

How is the workday?

As a PhD candidate, you will work in an environment of committed research colleagues. You will be able to decide on your work schedule, as long as you are not engaged in PhD courses, teaching, conferences or deadlines in the project.

You will be trained to become a highly skilled analytic. At the same time, you will meet students through teaching duties and solve research questions with others in your research group – answers to questions that will provide an impact on society.  

You will be able to travel abroad for research stays, join national and international conferences where you meet passionate researchers within your own field.

At UiB you will work in an egalitarian structure, where you will be given responsibility and shown confidence from the head of research.

Motivated? Skills to make you prosper

In order to succeed as a PhD candidate, you need to be structured and take initiatives. You need to see the value of teamwork. It is definitely an asset if you enjoy teaching and dissemination. In return, PhD education gives you a lot of opportunities!  

Your rights as an employee

As a PhD research fellow, you receive a salary and obtain temporary staff employee rights. If you become a parent or become ill, you have the right to take paid leave from your research. Thus, the end-date of your fellowship will become extended.

How to apply for admission to the PhD programme?

Admission requires that you have completed a Master’s education, normally of at least five years. Full funding is also required, in addition to a PhD project description. The remaining requirements differ between faculties, academic fields and the specific PhD research fellow vacancy. For more information on faculty-specific requirements, please see faculty-list out to the right on this page.

Broadly speaking there are two ways to fund your PhD education. Firstly, you can apply for and receive a PhD research fellowship at UiB. The research fellowships are announced at Vacant positions at UiB . If you have obtained a PhD position at UiB, some faculties will admit you to the PhD programme in the same process. At other faculties the fellowship recruitment and admission to the PhD programme will be somewhat separated. The faculty relevant for your academic field can inform you on the applicable arrangement.

A second way to obtain funding, is through a research fellowship or other kinds of funding through a private firm or public institution outside of UiB.

If you have funding and employer external to UiB you will in all instances need to apply for admission to the PhD programme in a separate process. If this applies to you, please contact relevant faculty.

If you have both funding and employer from outside of Norway, here is information on some practical and formal matters:  International PhD students with external financing

For this, a thorough test protocol shall be developed and conducted to. In a second phase, the instrument will be deployed in the field, to collect data that eventually will be analysed. Innovative methods shall be developed to analyse these new datasets considering current theories of glacier sliding, exploiting the expertise in data science available at MN’s dScience center ( https://www.uio.no/dscience/ ).

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in fault characterization (structural geology)

Faults are complex structures that substantially influence the mechanical behavior and hydraulic connectivity of rock formations. One of the main challenges in studying faults (both seismic and aseismic portions) is the accessibility to fault’s 3D structure. Depending on the resolution of the measuring methods and the fault accessibility, fault geometric characteristics could be constrained and biased. Therefore, application of modern visualization techniques that can provide a more complete view of fault geometry and growth is essential.

In this regard, we are going to utilize state-of-the-art drone imaging in outcrops and deep learning on seismic data in order to reduce the uncertainty of fault data, characterize faults from different scales and hence get a better knowledge of fault 3D structure. Utilizing this multiscale approach, we will be able to improve fault scaling laws and fill the gaps in the global datasets of faults from different scales. A detailed project plan will be developed in collaboration with the successful candidate at the start of PhD.

10. fully funded phd position in twentieth-century norwegian liteature.

The PhD fellow will take part in the Norwegian Research Council-funded project “Made Abroad: Producing Norwegian World Literature in a Time of Rupture, 1900-1950” (MAP), led by Aina Nøding at the National Library of Norway. The project team includes Giuliano D’Amico at the Centre for Ibsen Studies. MAP uncovers the paths of Norwegian literature towards a world readership during the first dramatic half of the twentieth century.

In this period, Norwegian authors faced a series of ruptures and challenging circumstances: two world wars following new forms of nationalism, changes to traditional cultural, religious, and linguistic hegemonies, as well as international copyright laws, the introduction of global mass media, and new methods of book production and distribution. Significantly rewriting Norwegian literary history, MAP also challenges our view of centre-periphery dynamics of literary exchange across borders, forging a highly innovative approach combining reception and translation studies, sociology of literature, book and cultural history.
