A number of Ph.D.-scholarships at the Faculty of Engineering will be available as of 1st September 2007.

Information about the research areas at the faculty can be found at our homepage: http://www.tek.sdu.dk

The scholarships may be sought by students who wish to obtain a PhD degree, either without or with a previous Master’s degree, and who have agreed on a PhD project with a supervisor employed at the Faculty of Engineering.

For applicants with a relevant Master’s degree, the scholarship will be for three years of study. This is the 5+3 track.

Applicants without a Master’s degree must have finished a relevant Bachelor’s degree plus a minimum of one further year of post-bachelor study (i.e. at least 60 ECTS of post-bachelor study). In this case the successful applicant will receive a four year Ph.D. scholarship. A Master’s degree will be awarded after two years. This is known as the 4+4 track.

The applications are evaluated based on a number of criteria: the quality of the applicant (publications, grades, references, etc.), the quality of the project, and the degree of co-financing (by the supervisor, a Ph.D.-school, or the applicant). Special consideration will be given to projects with relation to the strategic research areas of the faculty. However, some scholarships will be based on an open competition among the applicants.

The scholarship is salaried in accordance with the SU-law (the Danish State Education Grant and Loan Scheme Authority), and with the agreement on salaried Ph.D. students between the Ministry of Finance and AC (the Danish Confederation of Professional Association).

Further information about the Ph.D.-study can be found at the homepage of Faculty: http://www.tek.sdu.dk
