Members of the evaluation committee

Please note that there are currently two Norwegian doctoral degrees: the PhD degree (most common) and the dr.philos.-degree. The letter you receive when the committe is appointed will state whether this is a PhD or a dr.philos.

• The committee must submit a joint, written evaluation of the candidate's work minimum 4 weeks before the planned defence of the thesis. It is important that the joint conclusion whether or not the work is worthy of being publicly defended, is clear.
• The committee may not accept a thesis on condition that changes are made to the material submitted. The evaluation should conclude as to whether the qualitative and quantitative scientific requirements for a 3-year doctoral degree have been met, and whether the thesis is worthy of being publicly defended for the degree of PhD.

Practical information
