PhD Study Bursary at the Faculty of Theology, including Centre of African Studies
Subject to available grants, the Faculty of Theology, University of Copenhagen, hereby announces that a bursary for PhD studies (“friplads”) within all research areas of the faculty including African Studies will be available from 1 September 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. The bursary entails the enrolment as a PhD student at the PhD school of the Faculty of Theology. The faculty covers the tuition fee (150.000 DKK; 2024) but will not pay a salary for the PhD studies. It is therefore necessary that applicants document their ability to cover their own living costs during their PhD studies. The bursary is thus especially geared at people working part-time for, for instance, the Lutheran Church of Danmark (“Folkekirken”), a non-governmental organization or other public or private employers. The bursary thereby also provides an opportunity for PhD projects across sectors, for instance, for practitioners, supplementary training or continuing education. Application deadline: 1 April 2025, 23:59 (CEST). For further information, see the full description here.
