This is the second highest number of doctoral degrees in UiB’s history. The new doctors are also a very international group.
A third of them come from countries other than Norway, and they represent 41 different nations. This was highlighted by Rector Sigmund Grønmo in his speech at the Håkon’s Hall:
’This is really clear proof that the University of Bergen is developing into a research university with a high international profile. I am sure that you have been and will continue to be great ambassadors for UiB across the world. It has been a privilege for the university to have had you as doctoral students.’
