Recipient of a personal grant

If you as a future PhD student have received a personal grant for a PhD project, you can ask the Graduate School of Health to apply for admission outside the ordinary calls.

This is only possible if you have been granted a grant specifically to you of at least 50 per cent of the salary for a PhD and study fee. In addition, you need to submit a signed financial statement documenting that the project is fully funded. 

Please find information on the legal framework for advertising of and appointment to scientific positions here (in Danish)

To start the process, please provide us with the following:

  • Grant notification letter (bevillingsskrivelse) with your name on it – meaning, you must be the recipient of the grant. The funding provider has sent the grant notification letter directly to you after assessment of a grant application submitted by you.
  • A financial statement documenting that funding has been secured 

How to apply

When we have received the information confirming that you are the recipient of the grant(s), we will send you a link to an online application form so you can apply for enrolment. 

Please find relevant information on how to apply including mandatory attachments here: Application guide.

When we have received the application, it will be checked that the application fulfills our formal requirements after which it will be sent to assessment by the programme chair.

Offer of enrolment

If the programme chair approves you for enrolment, you will receive an offer of enrolment. The offer is valid for six months.

To be enrolled, you will have to accept the offer of enrolment and upload the required documents stated in the offer. You can be enrolled on the first in a month and you will be enrolled in one of our graduate programmes.
