Part-time study

You can apply for studying part-time after enrolment. 
If you have been enrolled for a part-time PhD study and wish to change this course of study to full-time, please contact the Graduate School at graduateschool@sund.ku.dk.

Certain rules apply to part-time study:

• PhD students registered for part-time study pay full tuition fees for the first three years and no tuition fees for the rest of the period.
• Studying part-time will extend your PhD study. The Graduate School will calculate the new date for submission of your thesis.
• PhD students registered for part-time study are required to work on their PhD project 18.5 hours on average per week.
• The Graduate School does not distinguish between full-time and part-time studies during an extension period. If you are in an extension and wish to study part-time, you do not need to inform the Graduate School.
• Your part-time study must be approved by the superior at your place of employment (Hiring Manager).
• Applications for part-time must be submitted before the period of part-time begins.
