PhD Scholarships in Denmark: Danish universities and research institutions welcome international PhD students either as full degree students or as visiting students.
A Danish PhD programme usually lasts three years.
The general admission requirements for PhD programmes include a Candidatus/Master’s degree or equivalent comparable to the Danish two-year Candidatus/Master’s degree.
In some areas, a four-year PhD programme is offered to students who have completed a Bachelor’s qualification and one year of study at postgraduate level.
Financing; A range of funding options are available:
Studentships: PhD studentships are advertised by universities, research institutions, business enterprises and public and private foundations. Employment is usually for a period of 3 years.
Industrial PhD fellowships: These fellowships are offered through collaboration between a private enterprise and a university. The PhD project is carried out as a research project and the PhD student facilitates research co-operation between the two partners. These fellowships usually have a duration of 3 years.
International financial support: There is also the possibility of getting international financial support either from your home country or from international organisations such as the European Commission’s research programmes.
