The main source of funding for PhD students at NHH is through employment at the school as a research scholar. To cover living costs, NHH offers a limited number of positions as research scholars to successful applicants to the NHH PhD programme. These positions are for four years and include a commitment to work 25% as a teaching and/or research assistant for the department they are connected to while enrolled on the PhD programme.
The annual salary for research scholars for 2007 is 310,500 Norwegian kroner (equivalent to about 37,000 euro or about 48,000 US dollars). Research scholars are subject to Norwegian taxes and benefits, including health care and pension. A result of this distinctly Norwegian funding arrangement is that demand for places is high. High admission standards ensure that although the best education is free in Norway, only the best students get in.
Applications to the research scholar positions are welcomed from both Norwegian and international students. Applicants must meet the admission requirements for the PhD programme. In addition they must fulfill the requirements of the specific research scholar positions. Details of the research scholar positions currently availabe are set out below.
