CPH Bioscience PhD Program

CPR is part of the Copenhagen Bioscience PhD program, a Novo Nordisk Foundation (NNF) initiative, offering up to 16 motivated international students funding to join a four-year rotation PhD program. Four of the students will join CPR.

The program is designed to introduce students to a range of world-class research within biomedicine and biotechnology, and equip them with exceptional skills for their future careers.

Pre-doc year ensures a great match for the PhD

The four-year PhD programme is a unique new concept for PhD education in Denmark, with students recruited initially to the PhD programme rather than individual labs. The first (pre-doc) year incorporates common courses and short rotation projects to optimize student-supervisor matching and encourage interdisciplinary research ideas.

3 year PhD with your selected research group

Students select a lab for their long-term project partway through the pre-doc year, and work on their PhD project during years 2-4 (the PhD years). Throughout the four years, the PhD programme supports the building of researcher networks, development and successful execution of PhD project plans, and acquisition of a broad base of knowledge and expertise.

Enrolment through application

Each cohort starts in September and candidates must apply for enrollment in the fall the previous year. You apply to the Novo Nordisk Foundation for funding by completing the application form on their website and providing all requested documents.

Requirements

Applicants must have completed an education that brings them to the entry level for a PhD. It is required that applicants hold at least one degree from outside Denmark, and have been living and working outside Denmark for a significant period of time.
