New rules and regulations

• Teaching obligations

  From 1. November 2023 all PhD students must obtain a minimum of 300 teaching hours at the university throughout their enrolment regardless of their place of employment.
  
  Students who are already enrolled may deduct 50 hours pr 6 months they have been enrolled from the total 300 hours.
  
  Teaching hours must be registered through the new PhD portal.

• Travel subsidies

  Due to severe budget cuts the Graduate School is forced to reduce the subsidies we offer for travels.
  
  From now on we offer subsidy for one external PhD course (non Open Market): Up to DKK 10.000 (once!) – can cover course fees, travel and/or accommodation.
  
  Research stays abroad: Travel expenses + up to DKK 3.500 to cover accommodation for no more than 2 weeks. Maximum of DKK 20.000. Longer stays are allowed but must be financed by other sources.

• Applying

  When applying for courses in 2024 (opens 1 Nov.) you must include invoice details in case of no-show (without cancellation) or obligation to pay the course fee (typically non-PhD students).
