What is a PhD programme?

A PhD is usually a 3-year (180 ECTS) academic research degree. The components of the programme are:

• Independent research under supervision
• Courses for PhD students (approximately 30 ECTS credits)
• Participation in research networks, including placements at other, primarily foreign, research institutions
• Teaching or another form of knowledge dissemination, which is related to the PhD topic when possible.
• The completion of a PhD thesis. The thesis can be a 200-page article or a collection of shorter research articles. The thesis is defended orally.

PhD programmes and courses are offered at Danish universities , which all offer excellent research, library and laboratory facilities for researchers and PhD students in addition to joint partnerships with industry.

PhD students are often encouraged to participate in research networks, including placements at overseas research institutions. A range of funding opportunities are available: Please visit the Researchers Mobility Portal for more information.

Who can apply?

As each institution in Denmark is responsible for its own admissions, requirements will vary. However, you will usually be required to have a recognised Masters degree in a relevant subject in order to be enrolled as a PhD student. Also, the applicants should also have good command of the English language.

For the students, who know that they want to pursue the researcher-path early on, the faculties have the option of starting a research degree directly after a bachelor’s. If this is the path you want to take, you can start a so-called 3+5 programme, which means starting your PhD and master's at the same time. Some faculties have a 4+4 programme where you can start your PhD after a year of master’s studies. The Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen offers these two programmes, for example. Each individual university lays down its own rules regarding this type of hybrid PhD. An example of this is Aarhus University’s 4- and 5-year PhD scholarships .

What should I include in my application?

In Denmark you must apply for PhD programmes in writing via advertised projects and scholarships . Usually, you either apply for an opportunity with a pre-defined research topic, or you propose your own research ideas.

You also have to include a transcript of your grades for your bachelor’s and master’s degrees with documentation of your grades, and a CV.

How can I finance my PhD?

For students from the EU/EEA/Switzerland higher education in Denmark is free

You may be eligible for free tuition as an international student, provided you meet one of the following conditions:

• You hold a permanent residence permit
• You hold a temporary residence permit that can be upgraded to a permanent one
• You hold a residence permit as the accompanying child of a non-EU/EEA holding a residence permit based on employment

All other students pay tuition fees. The fee is 50,000 DKK per year, i.e. 150,000 DKK for three years and is not postponed during any absence from the three-year PhD programme such as maternity/paternity leave, other leaves of absence or long-term illness.

The first rate is paid at enrolment, the second rate is paid in the first quarter of the calendar year following enrolment and the third rate is paid in the first quarter of the second calendar year following enrolment.

The grant provider must guarantee for the payment of the tuition fee for all three years when applying for enrolment.

The tuition fee covers

• PhD courses included in the Graduate School’s course catalogue
• PhD courses at other Danish universities and to some extent courses from other providers in Denmark or abroad
• Expenses regarding stays at other research environments in Denmark or abroad
• Activities in the graduate programmes
• Assessments and defence of your PhD thesis

Therefore, you have to be able to finance both your degree and your living costs. You can do this in several different ways:

Industrial PhD

If you aim to conduct a research project with commercial perspectives, you can apply for an industrial PhD. You will be employed by a private sector company and at the same time enrolled as a PhD student at the Graduate School at a university.

As an industrial PhD student you will carry out research where results are applied in an enterprise setting. The cooperation between university and industry gives you access to new knowledge and innovation provided by the private sector company.

Application process for the industrial PhD

• Start by finding a private sector company and a university supervisor for your PhD project.
• The private sector company must send an application to Innovation Fund Denmark to apply for the industrial PhD grant on your behalf.
• If successful, you can apply for enrolment at the Graduate School.

Visit the website of Innovation Fund Denmark to learn about application deadlines, requirements and how to proceed with your application.

How much can you expect to be paid as a PhD student?

If you are funded by a faculty  or a department, your salary is regulated by the Agreement between the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations and the Ministry of Finance (in Danish) (AC agreement). The average monthly salary for a PhD fellow at the University of Copenhagen is 32,567 DKK. After earning their doctorate , researchers go on to a postdoc which, in Denmark , can last up to four years at the same university.

PhD students employed at a hospital:

If you are employed at a hospital your salary follows the collective agreements in place at the Danish regions. In this agreement your employment depends on the degree you hold. Medical doctors are employed according to the collective agreement of the Danish Medical Association while other candidates are employed following the AC agreement. Contact your employer for more information.

Industrial PhD students employed by a private sector company

If you are employed as an industrial PhD student, your salary follows the collective agreement in place at your company. Contact your employer for more information.

Who gets accepted?

The head of the relevant PhD school decides which applicants will be accepted and enrolled into the programme – but of course it is not entirely at his/her own discretion. The applicants are selected based on a recommendation from the academic staff members on the faculty’s PhD committee.

When can I apply?

Normally, the PhD student will be affiliated with the principal supervisor's institute.  The PhD programme involves:  

• Supervision​ ​ (240 hours)
• PhD plan​ ​
• Semi-annual evaluations
• Courses (30 ETCS)
• Change of environment
• Knowledge dissemination ​
• Evaluation seminar

The PhD programme concludes with the submission, assessment and defence of the PhD thesis.

Become a PhD student

In terms of academic level, the PhD programme corresponds to three years of full-time study and is based on a successfully completed Master's programme is based on a successfully completed Master’s programme of 120 ECTS points (corresponding to 2 years full-time master’s study) .

Within the three year enrollment  PhD students are required to complete a programme that includes: 

• An independent research project completed under academic supervision
• A course programme of an extent corresponding to six months of studies (30 ECTS points)
• Participation in active research environments other than at SDU, including stays at other, mainly foreign, research institutions or private research enterprises
• Experience with teaching and other dissemination of knowledge
• Completion of a PhD Thesis
• The opportunity to defend your PhD Thesis in public

The PhD programmes are offered at the university's five PhD schools. All PhD schools offer a three-year PhD programme, and admission to the programme requires a Master's degree or similar degree. Some PhD schools also offer a four-year PhD programme for students who have completed the first year of a Master's programme.

The PhD programme is completed in close interaction with your academic supervisor, who is a leading researcher within the chosen field of research. You will be able to arrange a great part of your PhD programme yourself and to take study trips to recognised universities abroad. You will establish contacts to several active research environments both at and outside the University of Southern Denmark, and you will be participating in study activities, courses and conferences at both national and international research institutions. You will acquire experience with teaching and disseminating research results.

The Industrial PhD programme

An Industrial PhD programme is a three-year business-oriented PhD project where you as a PhD student are employed by a private company or a public-sector organisation while at the same time being enrolled at a university. As host university for Industrial PhD students, the University of Southern Denmark offers excellent conditions for setting up research partnerships between private business, the public sector and the university.

How do I find my research project?

At the University of Southern Denmark we regularly offer predefined projects, the details of which can be found under " Vacant positions " at the SDU main webpage. At some institutes it will also be possible to participate in defining a PhD project in collaboration with an academic supervisor and possibly an external organisation. At the Faculty of Health Sciences, the most common approach is for students to contact a potential academic supervisor with a view to formulating their PhD project together with him or her.

PhD and postdoc projects at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts

The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts hosts a small group of practice-based arts research projects on PhD and postdoc level. Every year, the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts holds a round of applications for research positions. For the 2024/25 we will only accept applications for hosting of postdoctoral research projects. Deadline for applications 2024/25 is October 1,  2024 at 12:00 (noon). You can find the application link at the bottom of this page.

APPLICATIONS 2024: HOSTING OF POSTDOC PROJECTS

If you wish to apply for an NNF-funded postdoctoral position through the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, you must first apply for a hosting agreement from Art Academy. A hosting agreement means that the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts recognizes a research proposal as meting both the highest professional standard as well as being in line with the Academy’s current teaching and research.

The hosting agreement confirms that the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts will employ the candidate and provide a workspace, given that the candidate obtains funding; and that they must teach in one of the Academy’s departments as part of their work obligations. Both PhD and postdoc researchers can use the Art Academy’s laboratories (workshops) as an integrated part of their research, and it should be clearly stated in the application if this pertains to your research project. Applicants who obtain a hosting agreement will be offered feedback and assistance on the steps towards the final application.

Applicants for postdoc scholarships should document qualifications on Ph.D-level. Applications should be submitted using the link at the bottom of the page.

The application must contain:

• Research Proposal (not exceeding 2 pages of 2400 characters including spaces)
• 1-page CV (size 12 font)
• 1-page statement (not exceeding 2000 characters including spaces) on how your research proposal connects to the Academy’s teaching and research.
• Visual portfolio of maximum 3 pages in length, that both documents the artistic practice and supports the proposed project.

Applications exceeding these page limitations will not be considered.   We assess applications based on the following criteria:

• The originality and potential of the individual project
• The relevance of the project to the Academy’s teaching and research
• The feasibility of the project within a timeframe of 3 year’s full-time study

We expect applicants to have

• A professional artistic practice on the highest level
• A substantial and well-documented artistic practice

Please note that it is a requirement for the continued funding of the research project that the researcher contributes actively on a daily level to the development of the institution’s research environment, with the exception of periods when they are on relevant research trips and stays abroad. If you are not currently living in Copenhagen please include a plan for how you will maintain an active presence at the Academy for more than 60% of your project.

We welcome applications from the broadest possible fields of artistic expression as well as projects that are interdisciplinary at their core. We encourage applications from artist who have established a solid artistic practice and therefore also from artist who are at an advanced stage of their career.

The Art Academy encourages all qualified applicants to apply and does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, religion, ethnicity, age or sexual orientation.

Non-EU applicants should investigate the relevant tax and employment conditions before embarking upon the application process, as we are only able to provide limited guidance on this subject.

The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts does not provide feedback on rejected applications. Applicants who obtain a hosting agreement will be offered feedback and assistance on the steps towards the final application.

Denmark university cities

There are only a small number of universities within Denmark, but all of them are situated within major cities, with attractive leisure opportunities and historical sites for you to explore.

The following are the main hubs for higher education in Denmark:

• Study in Copenhagen
• Study in Aarhus
• Study in Aalborg
• Study in Kongens Lyngby

PhD structure

A doctoral degree in Denmark is a third-cycle qualification, in-line with the framework adopted across Europe as part of the Bologna Process .

The Bologna Process

The Bologna Process brings together a range of countries to form the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Members of the EHEA share a common three-cycle framework that allows degrees from one country to be easily recognised within others.

However, despite following the Bologna Process format, a Danish PhD is a distinctive qualification. With many institutions incorporating industrial links into their programmes, students gain a variety of training.

PhD programmes

In Denmark there are two-types of PhD programme: the standard university-based research PhD and the industrial PhD.

On a three-year industrial programme , you will complete a project within a company’s field of interest. You will both be employed by the company and enrolled at a university. This scheme has been developed to facilitate networking between companies and universities, as well as to promote research and development in Danish business.

Programme length

The Danish academic year runs from August/September to May/June and is made up of two semesters:

• Semester one - begins in August/September with exams in December/January
• Semester two - begins in January/February with exams in May/June

You will study your PhD for 3-years as a full-time student

The Danish PhD process

Danish PhD programmes follow a set curriculum that includes specific taught courses as well as independent research .

Within 3-months you and your supervisor will have to come up with study plan proposing your research project . This must be approved by the institution.

The study plan will include courses you must complete, that are relevant to your research project . The courses must correspond to six-months of studies.

In addition, you will be expected to gain teaching experience and / or knowledge dissemination of your research results (through presentations and publications). Institutions offer students teaching courses and guidance.

Finally, you will have to carry out your research project and write a write a thesis . Danish universities often require students to gain experience researching inside and outside of their institution. This may involve going into industry or to another university abroad.

Supervision

Upon enrolling you will be allocated an official academic supervisor who is an acknowledged researcher within your research project’s field.

Your supervisor will be responsible for guiding your PhD, as well as ensuring you have a study plan and are participating in the necessary courses.

Assessment and examination

Danish PhDs use the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) in accordance with the Bologna Process. You must obtain all 180 credits to be awarded the PhD qualification.

You will need to complete a number of things to be awarded 180 credits:

• Study plan - this must be completed and confirmed with the institution within the first 3-months detailing the taught courses you will take and your proposed research
• Write your thesis - your thesis has to show your ability to make use of the subject’s scientific methods and prove your research abilities are at the international standard for PhDs in your discipline
• Pass the viva - this is a public defence in front of an evaluation jury consisting of two academics from outside your institution and one from abroad whom are all acknowledged researchers in your field

Your thesis will become publicly available before your defence.

Assessments

Within Denmark your ability as an independent researcher is frequently assessed. Your supervisor will submit remarks regularly assessing whether you are following your PhD plan. This will detail any adjustments that you must do to remain on the programme.

Fees and funding

Higher education policies within Denmark make it a very affordable option for international students (particularly those from the EU/EEA).

In addition to low fees, there are various funding sources available, with a number of scholarships specifically for international students.

Your tuition fees for a PhD in Denmark depends primarily on your nationality. For students from the EU/EEA/Switzerland higher education in Denmark is free

You may also be eligible for free tuition as an international student , provided you meet one of the following conditions:

• You hold a permanent residence permit ( permanent opholdstilladelse )
• You hold a temporary residence permit that can be upgraded to a permanent one ( midlertidig opholdstilladelse mmf varigt ophold )
• You hold a residence permit as the accompanying child of a non-EU/EEA holding a residence permit based on employment

All other students pay tuition fees. For exact fees you should contact your institution, but you will typically pay €6,000-16,000 per year.

Living costs

As a thriving, economically developed country, living costs in Denmark are relatively high.

It is typically recommended that students have around €950 per month to cover meals, transport, accommodation and other living costs. If you're planning to study in a more expensive city such as Copenhagen, you may need up to €1,800 per month, depending on your lifestyle and choice of accommodation.

• Academic transcripts - Certified copies of your transcripts and qualification certificates, with original stamps. Your transcript may have to be translated into Danish and approved by a lawyer.
• Statement of purpose - Referred to as an application cover letter at some institutions, this is a personal statement style document, stating why you want to do the programme, and what makes you a suitable candidate.
• Research proposal - If you are applying to a programme, without a specifically proposed project you will have to write a research proposal .
• Other - Some institutions require you to sit additional entrance exams or provide examples of relevant previous work from your Masters/undergraduate degrees.
• References - You will usually need to provide at least two academic references , who have had experience working with you.

Academic documents

Some universities require your academic documents to be received directly from the issuing institution, this can take several months so arrange this in time.

Some institutions in Denmark require students to have an interview for admission on to PhD programmes.

For international students this is typically conducted over skype, and usually involves 2-3 professors. Some interviewers will ask academic questions related to the project.

The structured nature of a Danish PhD is also designed to generate capable independent researchers who are suitable candidates for a range of jobs.

Can I work in Denmark after my PhD?

Denmark encourages international students to remain in the country after graduation, with visa extensions allowing for international students to seek employment.

There are different restrictions for working in Denmark after your doctoral study, depending upon your nationality.
