First, the advantages of studying in Norway for doctoral studies are summarized as 1, and the doctoral treatment is high.
It is no exaggeration to say that Norway's doctoral treatment is available all over the world. The starting salary of Norwegian doctors is about 320,000 RMB, and the annual salary of many professional doctors is between 400,000 and 500,000 RMB. Doctors in Norwegian public universities are all state employees, so the treatment of doctors is quite high, covering social security, pension and so on.
2. Good scientific research atmosphere
The cultural atmosphere in northern Europe itself is relatively free and everyone is equal. Therefore, doctoral supervisors in Norway regard doctoral students as their colleagues. Although he is a tutor, he only assists doctoral students to complete scientific research projects and provides technical support when necessary. How to complete the projects depends entirely on the doctoral students themselves.
3. There is no rigid requirement for the publication of papers.
Although doctoral students are not required to publish papers in Norwegian universities in theory, tutors and laboratories will have their own requirements. Generally speaking, a doctor applying for graduation needs to submit at least three doctoral dissertations. It can be published in the form of monographs or essays.
4. Paper signatures don't care about sorting.
Domestic and many European and American countries attach great importance to the first author and correspondent, while Norway's evaluation system holds that a published paper is the result of the joint efforts of all people, and everyone's contribution to the paper is equal. For doctors with weak scientific research ability, this rating system is very understandable.
It is convenient to apply for a green card.
Because Norwegian doctoral students sign a work contract, they can apply for permanent residence in Norway after graduation.
What are the advantages of studying in Norway? 1. Don't have IELTS scores: As we all know, you need IELTS scores to apply for universities or graduate students in Norway, and at least 5.0 points are eligible to apply. But there is no such strict language requirement for applying for high school.
2. Language environment: Norwegian is widely used and English is widely used in Norway, which not only helps children learn English and Norwegian well at an early age, but also cultivates their independence and self-rationality in life.
3. Have a greater chance to study in Norwegian universities: Because I am a senior high school student in Norway, after three years, Norwegian has basically reached a state where local people can communicate casually, and Norwegian universities are very strict about Norwegian.
4. Nordic style
The coastline is tortuous, with more than 6.5438+0.5 million offshore islands. The capital is Oslo, harbor and sea view, personal sculpture, holy church and so on. Are permeated with the unique frankness and boldness of the Nordic people. There is a pirate ship museum and two world-protected wooden pirate ships built in the 9th century. Interested friends must go and have a look.
5. the country is rich and the people are safe
Norway is recognized as a rich country in the world, with an annual per capita income close to $40,000. According to materials published by relevant UN agencies, Norway ranks third in the world in terms of wealth. In the latest survey of the most livable countries in the world conducted by the United Nations, Norway ranks first.
According to the UN survey report, Norway ranks first in life expectancy, education level and GDP index. Norwegian Prime Minister Stoltenberg said: "This is an affirmation of Norway. Norway will be more noticeable. " Indeed, a rich, peaceful and democratic country is desirable.
6. Visa is easy
The unique cheerful personality of the Nordic people is also confirmed in the visa. The visa officer will hardly embarrass you. The visa rate above 95% is enough to show that Norway is an open country.
7. Language learning is guaranteed.
Language is an obstacle to studying in Norway. But among non-English-speaking countries, Norwegian is the closest to English, and it will be easier for people with English foundation to learn Norwegian. Language schools have been set up for foreign students in all parts of Norway, and most of them adopt full-time management to ensure the safety and comfort of foreign students.
Notes on studying in Norway 1. Norwegian is used in college classroom teaching in Norway, but many course reference books are in English, so students are required to have a good English level. Norwegian universities require students whose mother tongue is not English to have TOEFL scores or IELTS scores. Students who have studied in universities in the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia and New Zealand for 1 year and passed all subjects can also be exempted from TOEFL and IELTS.
2. Norwegian universities have limited disciplines open to foreign students. Only the faculties of literature, mathematics, natural science and sociology enroll foreign students.
Among all disciplines, economics and informatics have the largest number of applicants and fierce competition. Only a few people can be admitted. There are even fewer places to recruit master's degree students in informatics. Because only students from home and Nordic countries and foreigners living in Norway are allowed to apply for medicine, dentistry, medicine and nutrition; Only local students are allowed to apply for the law major, because they only teach the Norwegian legal system and terminology, and they can practice locally after obtaining their degrees.
3. The Norwegian government has two kinds of official scholarships and educational loans. The former is a scholarship provided by the Norwegian government to students and young researchers from countries with which it has signed cultural exchange agreements, which is mutually beneficial among governments.
The Norwegian Education Loan Fund is mainly set up to support domestic students, but foreign students can also apply. They must be full-time students and meet one of the following conditions: they are from developing countries and have been allowed to live in Norway; I have studied in a Norwegian university for 3 years (including preparatory courses) and have achieved good results in the examination; Have worked in Norway at least 1 year before entering school; Married to a Norwegian or with Norwegian refugee status. Foreign students who receive financial aid from Norway or foreign countries will not receive loans; Complete a course at a university in another developed country; Apply for a doctorate; After graduation, I worked in China for more than 4 years. The general loan period is five years, and it will be issued before the start of each semester. All foreign students who enjoy loans must repay their loans if they move to other countries after completing their studies.
4. Norwegian major, belonging to liberal arts, generally has little hope of applying for scholarships. When choosing a major, you can continue to major in Norwegian or Norwegian history.
Because some master's courses in Norwegian universities are taught in English, they mainly provide education for international students who enjoy scholarships from Norwegian research and development institutions in eastern European countries and developing countries, or who move to Norway through exchange programs and quota projects, and also accept a small number of self-funded international students. Some exchange students can take master's courses, but they can't get master's degrees.
