Industrial and Public PhD Schemes

Would you like to pursue a PhD while working? Through the programs public sector PhD and industrial PhD, employees in companies and public institutions can complete a three-year research education at UiA

The PhD degree should be relevant to the company's area of responsibility. Employees apply for admission to a regular PhD program and divide their time between the company and the university.

Companies entering into an agreement for an industrial PhD receive an annual financial grant from the Norwegian Research Council equivalent to 50 percent of the current doctoral candidate rate for three years. The funds are provided as project support to the company and not as a personal scholarship to the employee.

Learn more about industrial PhD programs on the Research Council's website.
