PhD opportunities in Denmark Attracting highly qualified students worldwide to study for a PhD in Denmark – particularly in the fields of the natural, technical and health sciences - is a top priority for the Danish Government. As a knowledge-based society with a comprehensive welfare state and a bustling economy, Denmark provides an ideal environment for PhD studies. Danish universities, research institutions and industry offer excellent research, library and laboratory facilities for researchers and PhD students. This fact sheet provides a general outline of PhD opportunities in Denmark. Students interested in studying for a PhD are often informed about possible positions through their academic networks or by contacting potential research institutions/supervisors directly. You can find a list of universities, faculties or research institutions at the end of the document.
Admission requirements A Danish PhD-programme usually lasts three years. The admission requirement is usually a Master’s degree, comparable to the Danish 2year Master’s qualification - the Candidatus Some faculties also offer 4-year PhD programmes for students who have yet to complete a Master’s degree. In order to get admitted, you also need to have your PhD proposal approved by the institution where you wish to undertake your PhD. Furthermore, funding arrangements for the entire programme need to be in place (please refer to the Funding section for further information about funding your PhD).
Programme requirements The components of a PhD programme are: • independent research under supervision • Participation in courses and seminars (approximately 30 ECTS) • Teaching or another type of knowledge dissemination, which is, as far as possible, related to the PhD project • Participation in research networks, including placements at other, primarily foreign, research institutions • The completion of a PhD thesis (and the public defence of the this) Students are attached to a graduate school and a research programme in the subject area of their PhD. Even though the official language in Denmark is Danish it is possible to undertake a full PhD programme in English.
Funding A Danish PhD programme can be funded in a variety of ways:
PhD Studentships PhD studentships (sometimes also called PhD scholarships or PhD fellowships) are three-year full-time positions offered by universities, research institutions, companies and public and private foundations. Students are provided with a work station, free tuition and a monthly salary. In return, students in receipt of studentships usually have teaching obligations.
Industrial PhD Fellowships
Residence and work permit for nonEU/EEA citizens
Industrial PhD fellowships are offered through a collaboration between the universities and industry. The purpose of the programme is to educate researchers at the highest level with an insight into business aspects of research and innovation. The PhD project is carried out as a traditional research project by the Industrial PhD fellow in collaboration with a private enterprise and a university. Industrial PhD Fellowships usually last three years.
At the Danish Immigration Service’s homepage www.newtodenmark.dk you will find detailed information about how to apply for a residence permit. You should also contact the institution where you have been admitted for further information about your residence and work permit. Please note that you should apply for the residence permit in your home country.
Can I bring my family?
The programme is open to recently qualified post-graduate candidates as well as to young professionals with an educational background in science, technology, health care or social science.
As a non-EU/EEA citizen you do not automatically have the right to bring your family with you to Denmark. Your family is able to obtain a residence permit and allowed to work full-time, if your residence permit allows you to stay in Denmark for three years or more or can be extended to three years. However, your family members must be able to support themselves throughout the period and you have to live together in Denmark.
Similar to the studentships, the Industrial PhD fellows are treated as employees and are paid a salary throughout the study period. Industrial PhD fellows usually divide their time between the university and the company.
Self-funded PhD programmes
Stay and work in Denmark – career opportunities
Most universities and research institutions have places available for self-funded PhD students with suitable PhD proposals. As a self-funded PhD student you are responsible for funding your own studies (tuition fees, accommodation costs and living expenses). In some cases however, universities may offer full or partial tuition fee waivers. The tuition fees vary, but are usually between 10,000 and 16,000 Euro per year. Read more about accommodation costs and living expenses on www.studyindenmark.dk.
Denmark has a thriving economy and needs highly qualified professionals. It is therefore in the interest of the Danish society that international students stay in Denmark after having completed their higher education programme. If you complete a study programme in Denmark, your residence permit will be extended by six months to allow you to look for work in Denmark.
International financial support In addition to the opportunities outlined above, your home country or international organisations such as the EC research programmes, might have funding schemes for PhD studies in place (please refer to the section with relevant links).
