Graduate School of Arts
On the 1 July 2011 three graduate schools, the Graduate School of Theology and the Study of Religion, the Doctoral School of Educational Research and the Graduate School of Humanities, merged to form the Graduate School of Arts. The Graduate School of Arts has approximately 300 PhD students, with around 200 of them at Aarhus Campus and around 100 at Emdrup Campus, north of Copenhagen. The Graduate School of Arts is organised into eight PhD study programmes covering all research areas under the Faculty of Arts.
PhD students follow a three-year programme after completion of a two-year Master's degree (5+3) or a four-year programme with enrolment after one year of Master's level studies (4+4).
Descriptions of the eight interdisciplinary PhD studies programmes at the Graduate School of Arts can be found at http://phd-humaniora.au.dk/en/studyprog/intro/
In connection with the establishment of the new graduate schools and the amendment of the Danish University Act, work is currently under way on the formulation of new general guidelines on PhD programmes and the development of new websites for graduate schools.
The Graduate School of Arts invites applications for PhD scholarships (both 4+4 and 5+3) within all eight PhD programmes, to run from 1 February 2012. Deadline for applications: 3 October 2011 at 12:00 noon.
Applications for PhD scholarships and for admission to PhD programmes must be made via Aarhus University's online applications system at http://phd-humaniora.au.dk/en/scholarships/vacant/
The place of employment of successful applicants for PhD scholarships (4+4 or 5+3) will be within the relevant research environment, and will normally be the department at which the principle supervisor is employed (Aarhus Campus or Emdrup Campus).
