Scholarships

Most PhD scholarships/positions are advertised in the media or at the University of Copenhagen website (https://employment.ku.dk/phd/ and https://www1.bio.ku.dk/english/about/job-and-career/). However, it is also possible to enrol with your own personal fellowship (e.g. from a private foundation or personal funds) or apply to do an industrial PhD with a company (https://innovationsfonden.dk/en/programmes/industrial-researcher).

A tuition fee is charged on the PhD programme to cover administrative and educational costs. The tuition fee at Department of Biology is 80.000 DKK/year. For advertised PhD scholarships, tuition fees and fees for the assessment and the defence are usually included in the scholarship.
