Enrolment and employment

Admission to the PhD programme requires the successful completion of a relevant Master’s degree programme (MSc) or equivalent documented qualifications corresponding to 120 ECTS credits. In total, your higher education qualifications (e.g. a Bachelor's and a Master's degree) must comprise 300 ECTS credits.

Enrolment in the PhD programme further presupposes that the Master’s degree programme has been completed with a convincing academic result, defined as grades in the upper range of the grading scale. The Master’s degree programme must in particular document research abilities; therefore, particular emphasis is placed on the assessment of the Master’s thesis and other advanced, independent academic components, as well as relevant methodology courses.

You can apply for enrolment even if you do not yet meet the conditions above. However, enrolment presupposes that the requirements are met at the time of enrolment.

If you have a different educational background and have acquired the necessary academic prerequisites, you can also enrol. However, special academic requirements may be required before enrolment or parallel with your study programme.

Enrolment in the PhD programme presupposes that a fellowship has been awarded or that a financing agreement has been entered into.

As a student, you can enrol in the PhD programme if you have completed qualifying exams that correspond to a 3-year Danish Bachelor’s degree. In addition, you must have passed subjects corresponding to 60 ECTS points of a master’s degree programme. All of this presupposes that a fellowship has been awarded under the 4+4 scheme.
