Aarhus University Academic & PhD Jobs

PhD Programs:

Aarhus University offers unique flexibility for doctoral candidates through two primary models:

• 5+3 Programme: This is the standard route for those who have already completed a 2-year Master's degree (120 ECTS). First, candidates receive a regular salary for three years while completing their doctorate.
• 4+4 Programme: This combined scheme allows you to start your PhD after just one year of Master's studies. Next, you receive a Danish State Education Grant (SU) during the first part and transition to a full salary once your Master's is completed.

Moreover, all PhD fellows at AU enjoy competitive salaries, with base rates starting around DKK 29,310 per month plus substantial pension contributions.
