Admission to a PhD Programme is a general requirement for participation in PhD courses at BI Norwegian Business School. We therefore ask that you attach confirmation of admission to a PhD Programme when signing up for any of our courses.
Candidates may be allowed to sit in on courses by approval of the responsible for the course. Sitting in on courses does not permit registration for courses, handing in exams or gaining credits for the course. Course certificates or confirmation letters will not be issued for sitting in on courses. Please contact the responsible for the course if you should wish to sit in on the course, and inform the Doctoral Administration of the decision.
Please note that BI will give priority to its own PhD candidates if the courses look as if they will be fully booked. This is usually the case with our common courses which are compulsory for BI’s PhD candidates.
Course information
In the PhD Handbook you will find an overview of the courses BI offers for each of our six specialisations. There is also an overview of the courses offered the current semester as well at the next semester. If the dates for courses are not in the Student Handbook, it means they have not yet been decided.
Readings
Usually, readings will be provided as a compendium or linked through it's learning. The Doctoral Administration will provide you with a username and password for its' learning, should this be required.
Banner web for students
The Doctoral Administration will issue you with a username and password forBanner Web for Students (this is the same username and password as used for it's learning). When logged in, you will be able to check your grades and see the times and dates for the courses you have signed up for.
