PhD in Technology is a full-time doctoral programme over the course of 3 years. The programme is based on research activities within the following fields of science and technology. The research done by our PhD candidates is an integral part of the activities in our research groups and research schools. Our candidates contribute in research projects working on long-term technological solutions to solve regional and global challenges. Many typically find employment in companies, universities or research institutions.

We offer a high-quality PhD programme in Management that meets the requirements for present and future management, both nationally and internationally. This programme seeks to bring academic research in management closer to management practice in business, non-profit, and public organisations, thereby focusing research on topics that will generate new knowledge for real world problems. Research can be related to planning, acquiring, developing, organising, leading, and controlling the human, financial, material, intellectual, or intangible resources to achieve organisational objectives efficiently and effectively. These research areas are of high strategic importance as organizations strive to meet evolving challenges and opportunities in an ever increasing global, advanced, and fragmented world.

We do research on evolutionary processes in relation to the genetic structure and selection and human issues related to environmental impacts.

The Ph.D. program in Applied Micro- and Nanosystems educates scientists with broad knowledge of micro- and nanosystem technologies. This becomes an increasingly important part of our everyday life, in all sorts of "smart systems", as for example sensors integrated into mobile phones, equipment for medical diagnosis, for monitoring the environment and for instrumentation in industrial processes.

The doctoral programme trains qualified candidates for research, teaching, dissemination and innovation work, and other activities where there is a requirement for scientific insight and an operational maritime focus.

USN offers a Ph.D. in Research training in pedagogical resources and learning processes in kindergarten and school. The program was accredited in autumn 2012.
