• Change in academic training (doc | pdf)
  In order to have a course (external/summer school/winter school) approved, a complete course description must be provided. The course level(e.g.PhD) and workload (ECTS) should also be documented. For external courses, approval is required from the main supervisor and head of the PhD programboard. The candidate’s learning outcomes should be evaluated and documented (transcript). If a course only confirms participation, an examination must be arranged at the Department upon return to NTNU for approval. The assessment should be provided in the form of a grading protocol.

• Application for resuming academic position
  • The Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (IE) offers PhD fellows and post.docs a grant for resuming work after their parental or sick leave (100%) that has been continuously for 6 months. Granted applications will provide up to one month extra employment and shall be seen as a compensation for the time it takes to resume work.
