Industrial PhD Fellowship

An Industrial PhD is an opportunity to obtain funding for the PhD studies through cooperation with and employment in a company. The fellowship covers your salary, the costs of supervision, courses, workspace, equipment, assessment and printing costs of the thesis.

To obtain an Industrial PhD fellowship you must first find a company willing to employ you in a fellowship, to pay at least one half of your salary and to provide supervision. Then you must enquire if Aarhus School of Architecture will take on the project.

Together with the company and Aarhus School of Architecture you then develop a project description which meets the demands for an Industrial PhD project and set up a budget. The company can then apply The Innovation Fund Denmark to have the project approved and funded as an industrial PhD project.

If the project is approved you will be employed by the company and enrolled at the school, who will also provide supervision.
