Doctoral Programme

Dual degree with northwestern university (usa).

iCourt PhD students are viewed as integrated members of the iCourts research team. They will have access to all iCourts facilities, including expert supervision, visits to our targeted international collaborators, research funding, specialised research training courses, etc.

Within the first month of enrolment at the Law Faculty in the iCourts doctoral program, students must write up a three-year individually tailored work programme. This should be prepared by the individual PhD students in close cooperation with their supervisors and the head of doctoral training. All PhD students must have a main supervisor and a co-supervisor who approve the individual program. As iCourts is a basic science research centre, all individual projects must have appropriate methodologies, as well as include primary research in addition to drawing on secondary sources.

To facilitate leaning all PhD students will upon enrolment be appointed a mentor who will introduce him/her to iCourts and the Copenhagen Law Faculty. PhD-students who have been in iCourts for more than a year are expected to act as a mentor for new students.

Within the first year of enrolment all PhD students will present his/her research project at an internal iCourts seminar. Here you will receive critical feedback on your project from the iCourts team, and you will be expected to regularly share your insight and knowledge with the team. As part of the program, PhD-students will share research skills between them. PhD-students will be expected to form their own workshops and organise international doctoral conferences on relevant research issues.

All iCourts PhD students are expected to visit at least one, and hopefully two of our targeted international collaborators. Students should present a research visit plan to their Supervisors and the head of iCourts doctoral training before finalizing any arranged visit. The goal of such visits is to  expose doctoral students to a research environment outside the University of Copenhagen. To this end, students are expected to solicit feedback and be an active participant in the intellectual life of the host institution. 

As part of the overall PhD-programme at The Faculty of Law, iCourts PhD students must complete doctoral training courses totalling approx. 30 ECTS points. iCourt PhD students will be required to meet this requirement by participating in the following types of training activities:

• iCourts Lab (a number of specialised seminars internal to iCourts)
• Supervised conference presentations
• The Science BBQ (A theory and methods orientated research training programme at The Law Faculty)
• Training Courses at our targeted international collaborators
• JURFORSK training courses (Courses offered by the Danish/Nordic network of PhD-programmes)
• Other relevant activities

Finally, as part of the overall PhD-programme, PhD students must build experience in the academic profession of sharing research and teaching. iCourts students are expected to fulfil this requirement through teaching either in Copenhagen or at the institution of one of our targeted international collaborators. We also encourage that iCourts students publish during their research project, but in any event expect students to demonstrate that they have fulfilled these expectations.

In 2014  Northwestern University’s Department of Political Science  and iCourts launched a dual degree program that allows iCourts doctoral students to qualify for PhD in Political Science at Northwestern University. Dual degrees require students to have doctoral advisors and to complete the mandated requirements of both institutions. The requirements for Northwestern’s Doctorate have been modified for students pursuing a dual degree. Admission:  Dual degree candidates from the University of Copenhagen  apply to Northwestern’s department of Political Science  in fall quarter, as part of Northwestern’s normal admissions cycle. Upon request to the relevant Northwestern Director of Graduate Studies, University of Copenhagen applicants can have their application fee waived.  This request should come at the time of application. Coursework:  Dual degree students must acquire a minimum of 3 course credits in Political Science and a minimum of 9 course credits in total during their time at Northwestern (the equivalent of 1 year of course work, in residence). Coursework will normally, but not necessarily, be undertaken in consecutive quarters. Northwestern coursework undertaken as a visitor may be used towards this requirement. Methods training:   Students must obtain methods training approved by the Director of Graduate Studies of Political Science. This training may be completed at another University, at the Department of Political Science, or in another Northwestern department. Exams :   University of Copenhagen dual degree students will take one comprehensive exam in their political science field of choice. Each program area has slightly different preparation requirements for field exams, which are explained by looking at the various program areas listed  here . Additional information is in the  guide to graduate study . Second year paper requirement :  Dual degree students must fulfill the second year paper requirement of the Department of Political Science.  A chapter of the student’s dissertation can be used to fulfill this requirement, and this requirement may be completed during or after the one year of coursework at Northwestern. For more information, see the  guide to graduate study .

Teaching:  Dual degree students are required to teach (TA or lecture) for at least one quarter during their doctoral training. Students may teach at either institution, but teaching location is generally tied to funding. When on iCourts funding, students will not teach at Northwestern. Students who teach at Northwestern may satisfy their University of Copenhagen teaching requirement, but find that their funding package is decreased according to University of Copenhagen rules.

Residency Requirements : Dual degree students must be in residence at Northwestern University for a minimum of four quarters. Dual degree students may remain beyond the original terms of their formal exchanges, subject to funding and visa restrictions.

Dissertation Committee and Dissertation Prospectus Defence:  Dual degree students must have advisors from both institutions. Northwestern University’s Graduate school requires that two Northwestern Graduate Faculty serve on dissertation committees. The entire dissertation committee must sign off on a 10-20 page dissertation prospectus that defines the research question, justifies its theoretical contribution, and specifies the method of investigation. This prospectus is normally defended at a meeting with dissertation committee members. The meeting occurs after the completion of coursework and the comprehensive exam. Prospectus approval is separate from and in addition to the Phd plan required by the University of Copenhagen.

Dissertation Requirements:  Dual degree students must submit a version of their dissertation that satisfies all quality, editing, binding and other material requirements of the Northwestern dissertation. This includes a requirement that the dissertation be written in English. Dissertation Defence:  In addition to the defence requirements at the Faculty of Law, a dissertation defence must be conducted at Northwestern University. This defence must adhere to Graduate School rules and program requirements regarding all other defences, e.g., that defence committees must include at least two Northwestern University graduate faculty members and at least one member from the University of Copenhagen Faculty of Law. Funding:  Students accepted to the Faculty of Law doctoral program generally have three years of doctoral funding that can support their year(s) in residence at Northwestern. With the exception of granting a tuition waiver, Northwestern University will not initially fund incoming University of Copenhagen dual degree students. Students will be responsible for any fees normally paid by Northwestern graduate students, and for securing  health insurance that meets requirements at Northwestern University.

Today’s democracy is shaped by struggles of historic labor and women’s movements. In recent years, new pro-democracy movements and the Global Climate Justice Movement have emerged.

How does protest succeed to spark social change? How do activists communicate through digital media? CoMMonS research addresses these questions through systemic analysis. The activities include invited lectures, digital conferences, workshops, and externally funded interdisciplinary research projects.

Research areas and public outreach

In the spirit of UCPH’s continuing education initiative and public engagement, CoMMonS’s mission is to advance public knowledge, societal outreach, and international expertise on protest, political mobilisation, civic engagement, and citzenship.

The Centre offers regular seminars for presentations and feedback for faculty, postdocs, PhD students and guest researchers.

The CoMMonS initiates and facilitates collaborative research projects. CoMMonS workshops for bachelor and master students, PhD students, researchers, and international guest speakers will encourage public debate, networking, and knowledge exchange between civil society, practitioners, and anyone interested in social justice, democracy, political engagement, and social movements.

• Department of Communication

The Section for Philosophy is hosting a variety of research in different areas such as philosophy of mind, phenomenology, social epistemology, political philosophy, ethics, history of philosophy and philosophy of science. The researchers in the Section for Philosophy regularly publish in leading international journals and publishing houses related to these areas of research.

Much of our research is carried out in collaboration with other disciplines, such as psychiatry, psychology, political science, bioscience, computer science, economics, history, classics, literature, law, and theology. The Section for Philosophy is collaborating with Centre for Subjectivity Research and their research is partly overlapping.

Focus areas

Overall, the section has three research areas, practical philosophy, theoretical philosophy and history of philosophy.

Practical philosophy

The group convenes staff, PhD-students, postdocs and students from the section and from the philosophical community in Denmark, and covers areas in practical philosophy, spanning from political theory to bioethics. Specific topics of interest are equality, discrimination, democracy, migration, pluralism, exploitation, moral epistemology as well as a range of questions in bioethics and medical ethics.

Contact: Morten Ebbe Juul Nielsen

Theoretical philosophy

Theoretical philosophy traditionally covers epistemology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, philosophy of language and metaphysics. Our research focuses mainly on issues in philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, philosophy of science/cognitive science, as well as a range of problems in social epistemology. 

Contact: Thor Grünbaum

History of philosophy

History of philosophy covers the period from 600 BC until the present time. Current research focuses on ancient Greek philosophy and early modern philosophy on early modern philosophy. In ancient Greek philosophy, there is a particular focus on ethical and political theories in Plato and Aristotle. In early modern philosophy the emphasis is on theories of emotion and on feminist history of philosophy. In addition we share an interest in questions on the method of history of philosophy.

International Relations

The International Relations (IR) community at the Department of Political Science is a vibrant and active research community. It is comprised of a number of research centres and groups. These contribute to different academic debates in the field of IR. They combine an interest in advancing theory and methodological innovation with in-depth empirical work on issues such as international and regional governance, security and conflict, small states, diplomacy, international institutions, or climate change.

The members of the IR groups and centres are internationally leading researchers on international security, global risk and military studies, as well as on international political economy, international organisations and foreign policy analysis. The group’s members have a global reputation for innovative and pathbreaking research.

The IR research groups and centres contribute to the academic environment at the department through lectures and seminars with leading experts, conveying the latest knowledge and research along with methodological takes on IR. Together with teaching and supervision at both bachelor’s and master’s level, the IR community is an active contributor to the ongoing research-led dialogue between students and researchers at the department.

About International Relations

International Relations is one of five research groups at the Department of Political Science. International Relations is a theoretically and methodologically open group recognizing the productivity of diversity. The broad range of individual and collective research projects in the group work with different premises and methodological tool kits. They often cross or question the borders to other political science subfields, or disciplines such as sociology, geography, cultural studies or science and technology studies. Members advance concepts such as securitization, discourse, culture, practice, strategy, or risk. The research investigates political processes at different scales, the local, national, regional and global level with a focus on both public and private organizations. Research is as much interested in Denmark and the Nordic countries, as it is in Europe, other world political regions, including Asia and Africa, and processes and structures at the global level.

Five specialised research centres - each focusing on a specific sub-field, region or thematic - are related to the International Relations research group. Further information on the activities of the centers is available at the respective websites:

• Centre for Resolution of International Conflicts (CRIC)
• Centre for European Politics (CEP)
• Centre for Military Studies (CMS)
• Nordic Institute of Asian Studies (NIAS)

The International Relations research group meets in different formats. In addition to the activities at center level, the group hosts seminars with international speakers, organises frequent seminars to discuss draft publications, grant applications and preliminary findings, including ‘revise & resubmit’ seminars and the bi-annual research day. Members also meet in thematic discussion groups on themes such as interpretative methodology.

Internal and External PhD fellows are active members of the IR research group and receive additional mentoring, feedback and support through the group activities.

The group frequently hosts international visiting fellows at all career levels through the departmental visiting program and externally funded schemes, such as the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions or Erasmus+.

Research group

Arctic Politics Research Group

The Department of Political Science offers students three distinct master degrees: The MSc. in Political Science (cand.scient.pol.), the MSc. in Security Risk Management (cand.soc.) and the dual master’degree in Social Studies (cand.soc.).
