PhD Courses
Available courses at the TNNN partner universities
The table below contains a list of doctoral and master's level courses at Norwegian universities that are relevant for TNNN members and that give formal ECT credits for PhD students. The list of courses is not exhaustive, so if you are taking or know of courses that are not on this list, we would like to hear from you.
Important: TNNN will offer travel grants of a maximum of 10 kNOK to students enrolled in a PhD programme at a Norwegian university who wish to attend an intensive/hybrid course at another Norwegian institution. The grant can be used to cover accommodation and travel. The money will be paid into your project account, once the travel claim has been approved by your home institution. These grants are only available to TNNN members. If you would like apply for such grant, please contact Maria Elisabeth Sletvold <maria.sletvold@ntnu.no>. The application should contain information about you and about the course you would like to take.
Note that not all courses are available every year, so make sure to read the course information carefully.
