Denmark : Ordinary 4-year student Phd research scholarships at Faculty of Humanities, AARHUS University

Ordinary 4-year student research scholarships (4+4 programme)

To apply for a 4-year scholarship, you must have passed a qualifying examination that corresponds to 240 ECTS credits (e.g. a Bachelor’s degree allocated 180 ECTS credits as well as Master’s degree examinations that correspond to 60 ECTS credits, or a Master’s degree allocated 240 ECTS credits).

The programme consists of a part A and a part B each of two years of full time study.

Part A

During part A of the programme you finish your MA as well as beginning the first part of your PhD. This initial part of the programme consists of PhD courses, independent work, international stay and working at one of the Faculty's seven institutes.

The course of the postgraduate programme is evaluated every 6 months. After 18 months the student will either be recommended for completing the programme with part B and thus obtaining the PhD degree or to end the programme after the the first 2 years and thus obtaining a special research-intensive Master’s degree. Students completing after part A will be working on their master thesis during the last term.

In part A the programme is financed by the State Education Grant and Loan Scheme in Denmark as well as a salary for the student's work at the institute (all in all 280 hours in two years). in addition to this there is the State Education Grant and Loan for the student's master's programme.

Students who are recommended for part B will during the last term of part A be working on a qualifications exam which consists of the fourth evaluation and a presentation of one or more scholarly works within the PhD project. On or more of these works will be assessed as the master thesis in order for the student to obtain the Master's Degree. Satisfactory completion of all the parts of the qualification exam is necessary for enrolling in part B.

Part B

Part B consists of PhD courses, academic communication, working at the institute including teaching (560 hours), possible international stay and working with the PhD dissertation. At part B the PhD project is financed by a scholarship in accordance with the collective agreement. View translated version of the salary agreement at Aarhus University.

Language

The Graduate School of Humanities offers supervision in Danish and English to students enrolled in the postgraduate programme. In Part A it is possible to take courses taught in English in several of the study programmes, or to combine international courses. In Part B it will be possible to take courses taught in English in all of the study programmes. Interested applicants are encouraged to contact the study programme or to see the Faculty’s current International Course Catalogue for further information on courses in English.

Admission requirements

To be considered for the student research scholarships applicants must have one of the following qualifications within relevant academic disciplines:

  • a 3-year BA and a minimum of 1 year of full-time graduate study, or
  • equivalent qualifications.

Master’s degree students who have not yet successfully completed the final exam of the first year of their Master’s degree programme should include a curriculum for any outstanding exams and a statement from the relevant teacher or director of studies. Admission to the Graduate School of Humanities requires satisfactory English language skills in the form of a TOEFL or IELTS score (if you do not have ‘B level’ in English from a Danish entrance examination).
