Getting a PhD in Norway is nearly free--even if you're not a citizen

Okay. In my doctoral school and the 3 or 4 other that I know of (because friends are there) it's not possible to register as a PhD student without an income justification (you of course don't need to provide it if you are paid by state or one of the universities/school to which the doctoral school is attached). I wasn't entirely sure if it was just a coincidence or if it was the law. Thanks for clarifying this.

BTW, just saw your webpage: hi from an Ulmite to a Cachanais ;).

Hi back, and thank you for sharing your personal story. This confirms that some doctoral school directors actually enforce this verification of financial situation.

De Normalien à Normalien, bravo pour Ulm, moi j'étais même pas admissible ;-)

The director of my doctoral school is Christian Queinnec, of Lisp fame, and yes, he really is a great person.

Sinon, j'ai pas passé le concours :-p, j'étais étudiant au département informatique là bas, entré sur dossier après deux ans de fac d'informatique à Marseille. Anyway en informatique Cachan ou à Ulm à part la première année on fait vraiment la même chose :-).
