Semester abroad (2023–2026)

Prior to undertaking a PhD student exchange, an individual agreement must be made between the two institutions to ensure that the student will participate in an active research community at the host institution, and that they are provided with the necessary infrastructure to do so.

In order to ensure such opportunities, Østfold University College have established collaborations with international academic partners, with relevant research initiatives, where PhD student exchange is encouraged.

Students are expected to present their research at an international scientific meeting, workshop and/or conference at least once during their time as research students.
