PhD Course with ECTS Credits

The Nordic ProbAI 2024 school has been registered as a PhD course (DT8122 at NTNU) awarded with 7.5 ECTS credit points. Students not affiliated with NTNU should consult their home institution to determine if the PhD course can be recognized and awarded equivalently.

Additionally to attending the lectures and tutorials at ProbAI and as the means of examination, a PhD course registrant must submit a solution to a project assignment. The submission shall consist of well-commented source code together with a written report documenting the process leading to the solution. The written examination will not require you to stay in Norway. The submission will be evaluated and graded with passed or failed. Past project assignments are available on our Github account (dt8122-*).

Accepted PhD students will receive instructions for registering for the PhD course. In this process, all non-NTNU students will need to document that they are admitted to a PhD program at their home institution. Unfortunately, for PhD students outside EU/EEA special rules apply.

Invitation Letters for Visa

Invitation letters will be issued only to attendees, i.e. after they have been accepted and registered.
