DGPE PhD courses

The research network for graduate students in economics - DGPE - is a collaboration between departments of economics at Aarhus University, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen Business School, Aalborg University and University of Southern Denmark. DGPE offers intensive PhD courses and a yearly PhD workshop for member universities.

See previous PhD courses offered by DGPE here: DGPE courses

DGPE courses are external PhD courses, so you must seek approval before signing up, see Guidelines for approval of external courses

Approval of external PhD courses

Follow the PhD school's guidelines for preapproval of external PhD courses and for upgrading AU master's courses to PhD level:

As a general rule, approximately 28 hours equal 1 ECTS (corresponds to one full day including preparation and examination).
