Study abroad
PhD candidates are encouraged to take a period of their study at a foreign research institution as a part of their PhD studies. The period of study abroad must be academically relevant, and the PhD candidate must remain within the project networks with which the research group has established collaboration.
Fieldwork should not exceed one quarter of the time spent on the PhD study programme. PhD candidates in the field are obliged to remain in continual contact with their supervisors.
All PhD candidates who travel abroad during their doctoral training period must submit their contact information abroad to the administrative PhD coordinator responsible. This requirement is related to the University of Bergen's responsibility for all PhD candidates who travel abroad during their doctoral training. The PhD candidate's national insurance rights must also be maintained during his/her stay abroad.

Funding Opportunities for Phd Candidates
The main goal of the international component in researcher training at UiB is to add to the quality of the training. Increased quality can be added through the insight which international PhD candidates bring along with them to UiB or through the insight and experience UiB’s own PhD candidates bring with them from international milieus.
