DTU works together with a large number of businesses in the education of PhD students. The following models of collaboration are available:
Co-financing a PhD student – Businesses who would like an investigation of a specific problem have the option of partially financing a PhD student at DTU. Students enrolled in a research school typically receive funding from a business for one year. The funding covers salary, tuition fees and overhead to the university.
Industrial PhD – This arrangement is administered by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation. The purpose of the arrangement is to further development and innovation in the Danish business community. The Ministry provides financial support to businesses that wish to take on industrial PhD students. For more information about this collaboration model, please follow the link on the right side of this page to the Ministry's own web pages.
If your company is interested in taking on a PhD student but do you need assistance in locating an academic advisor from one of DTU's departments, please contact Aase Grundtvig, tel. 45 25 11 95 or e-mail .
