Extended admission to the PhD programme
Contact your department as soon as possible if you wish to extend your admission to the PhD programme. Admission to the PhD programme will end at the end of the funding period if you do not apply for an extension. Even if the admission has expired, you can apply to submit the thesis for assessment for the PhD degree. This assumes that the individual training component has been approved.
You must apply for an extension no later than 2 months after the end of the funding period so that the admission will not be terminated. An application for an extension has to be sent to the department (application form).
In the application, you must report which parts of the project and the thesis have been completed and published, and what remains of the PhD work. Your main supervisor must give a confirmation about supervision during the extension period, attached to the application. A detailed milestone plan must be included, showing planned progress during the extension period, so that the department can follow up on the plan. The milestone plan and a time schedule should be developed together withe the supervisor. In case of an extension, you must apply for approval of the training component by the end of the extension, if this has not already been done. Cf. UiB's regulations § 5-3.
The application can be granted when, after an overall assessment, the department finds that the project can be carried out during the extension period, and the department can offer the necessary supervision resources and infrastructure.
