The Industrial PhD Programme
An Industrial PhD project is a three-year business focused PhD project where the student is hired by a company and enrolled in a university at the same time
The company receives a monthly wage subsidy of DKK 14,500 while the university has its expenses for supervising etc. covered. The PhD student works full time on the project and divides his or her time equally between the company and the university.
In 2010, DKK 135 mil. has been allocated (as opposed to DKK 104 mil. in 2009) for new Industrial PhD projects. Accordingly, it is assumed all qualified applications from the private sector will receive funding. Last year, more than half of all applications were approved.
Industrial PhD grants for Chinese students
As part of the Ministry of Science’s China-strategy, funds have been allocated for 13 Industrial PhD projects for students with a Master’s degree from a Chinese university. The company has to be a private company with divisions or subsidiaries physically located in Denmark and China. The student is employed in the Danish division of the company and receives a salary which at a minimum corresponds to the pay rate of the collective agreement for PhD students employed in the Danish state.
Please note: It is still possible to apply for the programme at the application deadline on 18 October 2010.
