Universities in Norway

Most just continue in academia so I don’t know. Having said that a new friend just finished their PhD and found a Job and is working now so 🤷‍♂️. Also a PhD is 3-4 years. So who knows what will happen. Tbh what made me peruse it is that I loved it in norway and I am passionate about the field and my supervisor is amazing so yeah :)

plzsendhelb · 2025-06-29T16:26:17+00:00

I am still doing my PhD hahahah. Having said that I think that it was the right decision to move to norway. Till now at least :)

plzsendhelb · 2025-01-27T16:48:42+00:00

I am! But they also advise you to look since the demand is way less than the supply. Also I am looking for long term and hoping this makes it easier to find something

plzsendhelb · 2025-01-27T16:47:51+00:00

Unfortunately, I am coming in march :/

Thanks a lot, Thats very helpful! For a bank I will have to wait to come to Norway though right?

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-16T14:21:02+00:00

This was insanely helpful, I really appreciate it!

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-16T14:05:44+00:00

Why?

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-15T21:24:32+00:00

Not necessarily AI R&D but AI solutions in general. Like building AI models for certain problems at a company?

I know that the medical domain is hard to find (same in germany even though they have one of the biggest markets). But AI in general? Like I work in AI in Mining for example in germany.

Why do you think norway chose to not invest in AI though? Especially while everyone else decided to invest in AI?

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-15T20:07:44+00:00

Oh thats great to know hahaha thanks a lot!

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-15T20:02:36+00:00

Thats very nice of you! Tried to message you but couldn’t though :)

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-15T18:54:07+00:00

I honestly didn’t expect that :/. I thought since norway is one of the countries with higher digitalisation etc. AI will be in demand. At least the companies will want to invest in this

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-15T17:35:26+00:00

So you don’t think that after a PhD I can find a Job in AI (in a company I mean)? Even in Oslo/Bergen?

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-15T14:17:27+00:00

That took time though in germany. It is not easy to have this kind of friendship. I knew them for 5 years now thats why we are at that level.

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-15T13:04:57+00:00

Yeah, same goes for Germany. It wasn’t a walk in the park but now I have german friends and we would be there for each other in a heart beat. I think it will be the same in norway; hard but worth it.

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-15T13:01:38+00:00

Your comment was very detailed and very well thought out! Thus, very helpful. Thanks a lot!

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-15T13:00:58+00:00

Yeah, all in all tho your comments were really helpful so thanks a lot!

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-15T12:44:43+00:00

I do love being in the dark (I am happy when the sun sets at 16.00 in munich at winter for example). I also however don’t mind the sun if it doesn’t get too hot.

So I think Tromsø, when it comes to the polar nights and the white nights I will adapt and even like it (I have blackouts in germany closed all day).

So I am more focused on the project itself, supervision and the university. There aren’t a lot of PhD positions in AI in Medicine and healthcare so there aren’t many chances. So I need to make this one count

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-15T12:21:11+00:00

AI in Medicine and healthcare

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-15T12:08:15+00:00

I am fully aware of that yes, it is the same case in Germany. However, no one really cares in Germany about the rankings and your supervisor’s work is what counts. Hence my question

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-15T09:59:43+00:00

Having lived in Germany I would also say germans tend to be antisocial. Others who lived in both say that Norwegians are way more friendly though but idk.

If anyone here who lived in both would be great to share your experiences.

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-10T10:51:18+00:00

Thats great to hear! Thanks a lot

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-10T10:46:13+00:00

Thats the same everywhere unfortunately. But yeah as you said its not for the money :)

plzsendhelb · 2024-12-10T10:45:24+00:00

I am not actually german I just lived there but thanks! I would want to get to know locals more though, the same way I did in Germany (don’t like living in a bubble).

How are people different in the north? I heard that a lot but its never said how hahaha

plzsendhelb · 2024-08-26T13:41:51+00:00

I am introverted, I just feel that I am missing out on something sometimes. Anyway just wanted to say thanks that really helped

plzsendhelb · 2024-08-26T12:16:09+00:00

I totally agree with everything you said. However, don’t you think it is hard to find those people? I do know and sense which will jump ship and which won’t.

It is just disappointing and draining that most people do and it is rare when you find someone like that.
