About the ECON PhD programme

Most PhD students affiliated with our Department are enrolled in the PhD programme in Economics and Business Economics. A few are enrolled in the PhD programme in Social Science and Business; these students are assigned to us by the Graduate School of Business and Social Sciences. 

PhD students’ salary is generally funded by a graduate school, whereas the Department partly covers their conference and travel expenses, as well as their long-term stay at another research institution.

Although PhD students formally belong under a graduate school, most personnel responsibility is delegated to the Department. As such, the majority of our PhD students refer to the head of the PhD programme. PhD students are affiliated with the same department section as their supervisor.

Among others, the head of the PhD programme has the following responsibilities:

  • Conducting staff development dialogues (SDD, Danish: MUS) for all PhD students except those on part A of a 4+4 programme
  • Allocating funding to PhDs for conferences, external courses, travel and long-term stays abroad
  • Approving PhD plans  
  • Overseeing the quality of the PhD programme in Economics and Business Economics as well as the courses offered by the Department

The head of the PhD programme is appointed by the head of department. The elected head of the PhD field committee also serves as head of the PhD programme.
