These scholarships are available for the six specializations in the PhD programme at NHH; Accounting and Auditing, Economics, Professional Communication, Finance, Management Science, and Strategy and Management. Each scholarship is for a period of four years and combines taking a PhD programme at NHH with working as a research scholar. PhD research scholars are required to work as a teaching and/or research assistant for the department they are admitted to on enrolling in the PhD programme. The work requirement corresponds to 25 % of a full position a year, with the remaining 75 % being dedicated to the successful completion of a PhD.
The annual salary for PhD research Scholars is set according to the Norwegian State Salary Scale: State Salary Scale 48, which is currently 383 700 NOK gross (approximately 47,000 Euro or about 66,000 USD). The scholarships are subject to Norwegian taxes and benefits, including health care provision and membership of the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund.

Eligibility

Applicants who have at least a Master of Science or comparable academic degree will be considered for admission. An additional requirement is that the academic education has to include at least one-and-a-half years of studies in business administration or economics. Applicants must fulfill the admission requirements of the PhD programme. Qualified applicants with research proposals that fit best with the research interests of the department concerned will be prioritized. The prioritized research areas within Accounting and Auditing, Economics, Professional Communication, Finance, Management Science, and Strategy and Management are outlined in the programme information provided for each of the five specializations. In the event of equivalent qualifications, female applicants will be given preference.

  1. I am glad to have the info above in respect to pursuing a PhD in Business Administration. It's quite uneasy to pursue a PhD in Africa and yet we would like to develop our nations here but funds do not permit us, i wonder if i can have an opportunity to study a PhD in Business in Norway. Are there opportunities for a scholarship and what are the charges for doing it when not sponsored?

    I am completing my degree of Master of Business Administration in Management at Ndejje University in Uganda.

    I will be grateful for your positive response.

    Kind regards,

    1. Dear Manish,

      This scholarship is awarded annually, with two deadlines, the 1st November 2011 (which is expired) and 1st February 2012. That means you still have time to apply for it. For more information please visit the official website, and contact The Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration.

      Kind regards

    1. Dear Stephen,

      I am not sure what you mean by "can I apply this year after i have completed the MBA this April 2012". Do you mean can you apply for the 1 February deadline, even thou you haven't completed your MBA yet? I don think you can, seeing as one of the requirements is for candidates to already have a Master's degree. But, you will still be eligible to apply for the 1 November deadline.
      To make sure I would advise you to contact the PhD admission office at NHH: phd@nhh.no They are best suited to answer your question.

      Kind regards
