PhD Stipends

The standard PhD programme in Copenhagen is a 3-year programme, with entering PhD-students expected to hold the equivalent of a master's degree. 

Students who have not completed the equivalent on a Danish master's degree can occasionally be given the option of enrolling in a concurrent master and PhD-programme with a total duration of up to 5 years (depending on prior course credits). Students seeking this option should also apply through the regular PhD call. 

There are two yearly application deadlines in November and April, with a starting date usually the following fall. Spring admission is also possible.
