I see that most of the terms you have indicated are taken from the existing translation of the doctoral degree regulations, which I found a copy of on my PC. I do not know who translated this, it was not me. The author is recorded as UiB (Bergen presumably). I see that apart from the terms you mention, there are also some typos and the text is in American English. I will ensure that the correct terms are used in the new translation that is being prepared at NTNU.
