PhD programme
PhD at the Department of Pharmacy
With a master's degree you can either apply for open PhD positions or send in your own research project proposal in collaboration with a counciler and apply for either partial og full external funding.
A PhD programme is a three-year, full-time course concluding with a scientific thesis, which gives the title of Doctor to its defendant. As a PhD student, you are considered as a student within the faculty, but you are still employed on a salary.
You can enroll in two ways:
- You can look at our vacant posts on UCPH's job portal. All applications must be sent digitally via the dedicated platform. The Department cannot consider spontaneous applications sent via email.
- Alternatively, you and your supervisor can submit your own research project proposal and apply for some or all of your funding from other departments and foundations.
You will need to have completed your master's degree to apply.
The programme consists in an independent research project. You also attend relevant course modules, teach, write articles, and communicate your findings in other ways, by attending conferences. You will often be attached to several active research groups, some of which should ideally be international.
Based on your original research, you write a PhD thesis that will be assessed by a committee. You then defend your thesis in public.
All PhD students are enrolled in the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, and attend the specific Drug Research Academy programme.
