Tuition fee for PhD students enrolled at Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences

What does the tuition fee include?

I am often asked what PhD students get out of the tuition fee? A bit of facts first: How much do PhD students pay in tuition fee? Our PhD students pay 50.000 DKK tuition fee/year to be enrolled in the Graduate School at SUND. Apart from Aarhus University where students pay 40.000 DKK/year we are the cheapest Graduate School in Denmark. Most universities charge between 80.000 – 150.000 DKK/year.

I think you’ll be surprised to learn what PhD students get via the tuition fee. Below you can see a list of some of it:

• Free access to all PhD courses offered by the Graduate School, and scientific PhD courses offered by other graduate schools in Denmark and by member faculties in NorDoc.
• Reimbursement of course fee for up to two external courses.
• Statistical support.
• Networking activities such as writing retreat, summer schools etc., in their graduate programme designated to their research area.
• Financial support for the change of research environment (up to 45.000 DKK).
• Up to eight individual coaching sessions that can help them with issues such as scientific writing, motivation, handling stress, collaboration issues etc.
• PhD coordinators and PhD counsellors who support the PhD students if life gets difficult.
• For the defense of their thesis: Travel cost for external assessors, dinner for the assessment committee etc.
• Support from the Graduate school regarding matters such as leave of absence, change of supervisors, change of project, credit transfer of previous research or courses.

We enjoy our collaboration with both PhD students and their supervisors. Please reach out to us if you have any questions and comments regarding this. We are happy to help you.

Best regards,

Rikke Buhl

Head of the Graduate School
