Abstract
Hensikten med rapporten er å gi et oppdatert bilde av hvordan det er å være doktorgradskandidat i Norge våren 2017, og sammenlikne utviklingen over tid. Målet er å gi alle dem som jobber for å planlegge, gjennomføre eller følge opp norsk forskeropplæring, et oppdatert og representativt kunnskapsgrunnlag om målgruppen. The purpose of the report is to provide an updated picture of what it is like to be a PhD candidate (the formal term for a doctoral student) in Norway in the spring of 2017, and to compare developments over time. To do this, we have collected data from a questionnaire that was sent to all doctoral candidates who were admitted to a doctorate program in a Norwegian higher education institution in the autumn of 2016 (ca. 8300 persons). In total, 3864 responded to the survey (response rate of 48 percent), and the sample is representative of the population as a whole. We also draw upon data from a national registry of PhD candidates, and compare results from this survey with a prior study among a similar sample of PhD candidates from 2009.
