22 April 2024 at 23:59 Prequalification of a named PhD candidate
If the project includes a named PhD student, the prequalification process below must be followed: The main applicant must obtain approval from the relevant PhD programme director, confirming that it will be possible to enrol the candidate in question as a PhD student if funding is granted. 

The following appendices must be sent to the research consultant and the relevant PhD programme director:

  • CV
  • Diplomas and certificates
  • Documentation of English language competences
  • A project outline for the part of the research project which the PhD student is to carry out (note: the Graduate School, Arts has decided that when applying for funding for a named PhD candidate in connection with major research applications, advance approvals will depend on an assessment of the candidate’s qualifications (CV and diplomas) and a project description of two-five pages formulated by the named PhD candidate. This decision applies to applications where the PI writes a project description on behalf of the entire research group. Based on this, the named PhD candidate must demonstrate the ability to write an independent sub-description).

If the candidate is approved, the main applicant will receive a confirmation document from the head of the Graduate School, Arts, Anne Marie Pahuus.
