Semester abroad (2026–2029)

Prior to undertaking a PhD candidate exchange, an individual agreement must be made between the two institutions to ensure that the candidate 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 of Applied Sciences have established collaborations with international academic partners, with relevant research initiatives, where PhD candidate exchange is encouraged.

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