Department of Computer Science

The department has many PhD students in on our world-class research groups . All PhD students accepted at the department are fully funded and receive a generous stipend (either salary or SU, Danish students' Grants and Loans Scheme).

When can I start?

Many believe that you must complete your Master's degree before applying for a PhD position. However, at Aarhus University it is possible to apply already after your Bachelor's degree or even during your Master's studies. For more info see the figure below or read more in the rules and regulations .

Study and work

Although research in collaboration with your PhD supervisor and others is the primary focus for a PhD student, there are also other activities in the daily life as a PhD student. You will follow courses and sharpen your skills within the area of research chosen for your PhD studies. However, PhD students typically also work as a teaching assistant or as a part of the department's visitor’s service, where we present computer science to upper secondary school classes. PhD students are also encouraged to take part in the boards and committees at the department.

Study abroad, travels and conferences

As a PhD student, you need to view the world from a number of angles – not just from our department. Therefore, all our PhD students visit a foreign research institution, typically from three to six months, to gain experience, collaborate, and establish a network in the academic community. Also, during your PhD studies you attend conferences and summer schools in other parts of the world. The department will cover expenses for travelling.

Before you apply

1. On our research pages , you can find information about the research area and staff members in each of the research groups, at the department.

2. Reach out to potential supervisor to learn about the possibilities of becoming a PhD student on their research projects.

3. Read the application guidelines, which contain information about documentation needed, language test, etc. you need to prepare for your application.

4. Apply via Graduate School of Natural Sciences . Please note the deadlines: February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1.

• Apply to a predefined PhD position , or

Difference: Having a Master's degree or still enrolled?

What is the difference between having a master's degree and still being enrolled as a master's student when applying for a phd scholarship/fellowship.

  This section contains information about:

• 60-90 ECTS credits after application deadline
• 90 ECTS credits at the time of application
• Danish Master's degree (120 ECTS)
• Non-Danish Master's degree (equivalent to a Danish Master's degree)
• Non-Danish Master's degree (NOT equivalent to a Danish Master's degree)

Danish Master's degree or equivalent non-Danish Master's degree (still enrolled)

• 60-90 ECTS credits after application deadline: You can apply for a 4+4 scholarship if you have already acquired 60 ECTS credits or will have acquired 60 to 90 ECTS credits in a Master’s degree examination after the deadline for application.  
• 90 ECTS credits at the time of application: If you have already earned 90 ECTS credits at the time of application you cannot apply for a 4+4 scholarship. You can apply for a 5+3 fellowship as long as the Master’s degree programme is completed no later than the day before the PhD enrolment starts.

Master's degree (passed)

• Danish Master's degree If you have a Danish Master's degree (120 ECTS credits) you can apply for the 5+3 fellowship (NOT the 4+4 scholarship).  
• Non-Danish Master's degree -  equivalent to a Danish Master's degree: If you have a Master's degree and it is equivalent to a Danish Master's degree you can apply for the 5+3 fellowship (NOT the 4+4 scholarship).  
• Non-Danish Master's degree - NOT equivalent to a Danish Master's degree: If you have a Master's degree and it is only equivalent one year at Master's level in Denmark you can apply for the 4+4 scholarship (NOT the 5+3 fellowship). If your Master's degree is not equivalent to a Danish 2-year Master's degree  you will be contacted by the Study Centre Arts (if you get one of the PhD scholarships). They will find a new Master's degree programme at Arts for you and make a  credit transfer for the courses previously completed as part of your degree programme at Master’s level.  On this page you can see all the Master's degree programmes at Aarhus University (choose "Faculty" - "Arts" to see the programmes at Arts):  https://kandidat.au.dk/en/   This means that you will be both a Master’s degree student and a PhD student during part A of the PhD degree programme (4+4).

Not yet passed but will be passed before PhD enrolment

If you have not yet submitted your Master’s thesis for assessment or if you have other outstanding examinations you must upload a list of the courses you have passed and any examinations you are signed up (inkl. the deadline for your Master's thesis). Your Master’s degree programme must be completed no later than the day before the PhD enrolment starts.

Timeout when applying

If you are uploading large PDF files you may encounter a timeout after 2 minutes because it takes too long to upload the application incl. the PDF files. Try reducing the files and upload again.
