Funding

There are three ways to apply for enrolment:

Open call - fully funded scholarships/fellowships from the Faculty of Arts. You apply via a call for both enrolment and employment, see this page.
Specific call - fully funded scholarships/fellowships with full external funding or with partial external funding and co-funding form the Faculty of Arts. You apply via a call for both enrolment and employment, see this page.
Ad hoc application - you apply with funding you have already received or if you want to pay for the enrolment yourself. You apply for enrolment only via a direct link from the PhD administrator. Please see the costs on this page.

PhD scholarships/fellowships funded by the Faculty of Arts

At the Faculty of Arts there are two different types of PhD grants. Your previous education decides which type of scholarship/fellowship you can apply for:

The 3-year PhD fellowships which you are enrolled in after completing a MA (120 ECTS)
The 4-year PhD scholarships which you are enrolled in after completing a BA and 60 ECTS of a master's programme.

For further information on the PhD degree structure please see this page.

The grants include a scholarship/salary as well as educational costs (40,000 DKK for travels, programme fee/tuition and overhead). Both of the PhD degree programmes are implemented in accordance with the Ministerial Order on the PhD Course of Study and on the PhD Degree (no. 1039 of 27 August 2013).

The grants do not cover travel/moving expenses or costs in connection with applying for residence and work permit.

Application

Twice a year the graduate school will call for applications on this page.

Enrolment with external funding

You must be able to prove that you have the full funding before you apply for enrolment.

The funding could come from:

a grant from a foundation, public research programmes etc.
a so-called Industrial PhD scholarship provided by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation
a collaboration between the Faculty of Arts and your employer (museum, company etc.) or
self-payment. You pay for the PhD programme yourself.

Costs of enrolment

You can find the costs of enrolment on this page.

Be aware that the funding must include an allowance for living costs and travel expenses because you are expected to live in Denmark during the enrolment in order for you to be an active member of the research environment at the school and you are expected to be present at the school on an everyday basis. Please see "Moving to Denmark" and "Cost of living" on the page for international applicants.

If you have any questions regarding the financing of your PhD education, please contact the Graduate School, Arts.

Application

When you have the full funding and you are ready to apply for enrolment please contact the PhD administrator at the PhD programme you want to be affiliated in order to get a direct link to the application facility. You cannot apply for enrolment before you have received the grant for the whole duration of the enrolment.
