fa c u lt y o f s c i e n c e university of copenhagen PhD School Annual Report 2014 FA C U LT Y O F S C I E N C E 1 Foreword The annual report from the PhD School of SCIENCE provides an overview of the activities in 2014, including key numbers for academic activities, statistics of enrolled and graduated students, administrative initiatives, new study programmes, and collaborative initiatives with international universities. Furthermore, the report includes a list of all graduated PhD students in 2014 (enclosure 6). The PhD programme is one of the flagships of the university and at the same time an important strategic element in the departmental research strategies. The Faculty of Science will continue to allocate significant resources to the training and education of PhD students within natural and life sciences. The overall focus of the SCIENCE PhD programme continues to be training of researchers who will contribute to the further development of the general welfare and knowledge level in our society – in both the public and the private sector. The PhD School of SCIENCE strives for excellence in all elements of a PhD study including supervision, research training, educational programmes and research accomplishments. This is supported by the very large number of qualified applications from all over the world to advertised PhD positions. Over the past year, 331 new students have been enrolled at the PhD School. A total of 1162 students are currently enrolled, of whom 601 or about 52 % are foreigners. About half of the international students are Europeans and the other half come from the rest of the world. SCIENCE has students from 81 countries enrolled, representing almost half of the world’s national states so our PhD students contribute significantly to the internationalization of our faculty. The SCIENCE PhD programme has a good gender balance with 47 % female and 53 % male PhD students enrolled. We are very pleased that the 12 faculty departments have been able to recruit so many talented Danish and international students.

One of the major revisions includes a smoother and more substantial way to declare co-authorships – now only three authors have to sign the statement, whereas the contribution of the PhD student to the scientific article is described in more detail. The PhD School implemented the integrated MSc and PhD 3+5 scheme and enrolled the first PhD student on this new 5-year programme. The PhD School continued to attract double degree PhD students and increased the engagement with Brazil through the programme ‘Science without Borders’. In 2014, the PhD School started a new tradition of celebrating the graduated PhD‘s at a ceremony for all graduates of the year. On 12 September 2014, the PhD School hosted the first graduation ceremony. Supervisors and family were also invited, and more than 200 guests contributed to making the ceremony memorable. The PhD School also instituted a prize awarded to exceptionally good PhD theses. Three graduates were awarded a prize for their excellent PhD projects. The PhD Education at SCIENCE in the Year 2014 – A Global Affair PhD programmes are recognized as an excellent tool to establish, create and maintain collaborations between institutions across borders. The PhD School is pleased that the research environments at the Faculty are able to attract bright PhD students from all over the world. The vast majority of our PhD students are recruited through regular job announcements, and the students are exclusively selected on the basis of their credentials. Another group of students are recruited through national agreements between the Danish government and foreign governments. An example is Science without Borders, an agreement between the Brazilian government and various foreign institutions. Currently 11 Brazilian students are enrolled at SCIENCE, and we aim to attract more in the future. Another example of an international governmental agreement is the Sino Danish Collaboration (SDC). A handful of the faculty’s 89 Chinese PhD students are recruited via the SDC scheme, whereas the majority of the remaining are co-funded by the Chinese government (Chinese Scholarship Council). The PhD School of SCIENCE is indeed an international environment. As you can see on the map below, all continents (Antarctica not included) are represented and there are PhD students from 81 different countries. Most of the students come from Europe (73 %) and Asia (17 %) whereas Africa, North America and South America are represented by 3-4 percent each. Broadly speaking, half of the PhD students are Danes, 25 percent from the rest of Europe (especially Germany) and the remaining 25 percent are from other parts of the world. Details on the nationalities of the PhD students can be seen in enclosure 1. For many years, the Faculty of Science has been engaged in capacity building programmes in the third world, and PhD programmes are seen as a very helpful tool. Thus a lot of the African and Asian PhD students are recruited through capacity building programmes, often initiated by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Danida), e.g. Building Stronger Universities and FFU (part of the Danish Research Council), but also programmes initiated by the European Union. From left to right: Dean John Renner Hansen, Laura Vang Rasmussen, Lars Behrendt and Alexander Sokol. Finally, the PhD School enrolled 331 new PhD students and graduated 285 candidates. Theme 2014: 4 PHD SCHOOL · ANNUAL REPORT 2014 FA C U LT Y O F S C I E N C E Map showing the nationalities of the PhD students enrolled at Science. 5 Double Degree Collaborations PhD Course Activities An increasing number of PhD students at SCIENCE are enrolled on a double degree scheme with a foreign institution as host institution (57 PHD students as shown in table 2, p. 12). Double degree collaborations are especially relevant if a scientific environment aims to strengthen the bond with another university. It demands a very close working relationship between the supervisors from the two institutions and also embeds the student in the research facilities at both universities. The student has to spend time at both universities, fulfil the academic standards of both universities and is subsequently awarded a PhD degree from both institutions, usually after a joint public PhD defence. Generic PhD Courses at the Faculty of SCIENCE SCIENCE hosts a number of generic courses. The courses are operated and supplied by the departments and external providers. You can see a list of courses in enclosure 3. Mandatory Courses at SCIENCE The Responsible Conduct of Research course is mandatory for all PhD students at SCIENCE. In 2014, 193 PhD students passed the course. The Responsible Conduct of Research course is also part of the Introduction Course. In 2014, 105 PhD students passed the Introduction Course. In total, 298 passed the Responsible Conduct of Research course in 2014. The double degree scheme in Denmark was initiated in 2010-11 via the EU framework Erasmus Mundus and the Faculty of Science took the opportunity to engage in syndicates with other European universities. The experience was very positive and the idea has developed from a few engagements back in 2011 to close to 60 in 2014. In enclosure 2, you will find a list of double degree partner institutions (41 in total) and it appears that most agreements are entered into with European partner institutions. It also shows that quite a few double degree arrangements are related to engagements in capacity building and the SwB scheme mentioned earlier. Introduction to University Pedagogy is mandatory for all PhD students who are going to teach at the University of Copenhagen. In 2014, 188 PhD students passed the course. Funding for International PhD Courses Each year, faculty members at the departments are given the opportunity to apply for co-funding for PhD courses for which the teachers include external experts/professors from international universities. The courses offer opportunities for students to be exposed to state–of–the-art knowledge within specific scientific disciplines. Through this, valuable contacts are established with the international experts, and the students can benefit from this in their further training and research. By having a mixture of students from different universities and countries, important social and professional networks are also established among the students who participate. The PhD School’s Annual Accounts for 2014 In 2014, the PhD School was allocated DKK 5.2 mill. to support the following activities: a) International PhD courses offered by the departments, b) Transferable skills courses, incl. the mandatory PhD courses Responsible Conduct of Research, Introduction to University Pedagogy and the Introduction Course for New PhD Students and c) Events and other operational costs. The students are generally very happy with the courses. In the assessments following the courses, the courses are generally given very fine reviews by the students. The overall expenditure (budget lines) can be found in the table below. In the section about international PhD courses and generic PhD courses on the next pages and in enclosures 3-4, you will find more information about the individual course activity. In 2014, a total of 42 courses were granted co-funding by the PhD School (enclosure 4). 6 Activity Budget lines DKK International PhD Courses 2,900,000 Transferable Skills Courses 1,650,000 Events and operational costs of the PhD School 650,000 Total 5,200,000 For further information about PhD courses provided by SCIENCE, please see the SCIENCE course database PHD SCHOOL · ANNUAL REPORT 2014 FA C U LT Y O F S C I E N C E 7 Final Evaluation of the PhD Programme Study Statistics The PhD School evaluates the faculty’s PhD Programme by surveying the graduated PhD students. The graduates are asked questions about the PhD study programme and the environment surrounding them during the PhD. The questionnaire deals with the quality of the courses taken during the PhD, the academic and social environment and other areas relating to their experiences as PhD students at the faculty of SCIENCE. A range of questions are also directed at the experiences of the many international PhD students at SCIENCE. In January 2013, the PhD School of SCIENCE was established by a merger of the former faculties (NAT and LIFE). Due to the fact that a part of LIFE (the veterinary departments) was also divided between Faculty of Science and Faculty of Health Sciences, it has been decided to include only data from 2013 and onwards. Table 1: An overview Of the 282 graduates in the period 1 January - 31 December 2014, about 60 % replied fully or partially to the survey. The overall impression from the replies and comments is positive. The vast majority of the respondents are content with their experiences as PhD students at SCIENCE. The final evaluation report can be found on the PhD School website: www.science.ku.dk/phd. PhD students at SCIENCE 2013 2014 PhD Students as of 31 December 1132 1160 Enrolments (1 January to 31 December) 332 331 PhD Degrees Awarded (1 January to 31 December) 262 282 Discontinued PhD Programmes 24 49 The PhD School of SCIENCE is the second largest PhD educational environment in Denmark and hosts almost 1,200 PhD students. Each student is enrolled at one of the twelve departments of the Faculty. The PhD School aims to attract 332 new PhD students per year, which implies that the PhD School will maintain its volume in the years to come. In 2014, 282 PhD students graduated which are twenty more than last year, and this number is expected to increase in the coming years. The number of discontinued PhD programmes appears to be rather low. The increase from 24 in 2013 to 49 in 2014 is caused by an action on the part of the PhD School which identified and discontinued PhD students who no longer wished to pursue their PhD study programmes. Thus 15 of the discontinued students were enrolled for less than three years, whereas the remaining 34 had exceeded the three-year study period at the time of the study discontinuation. The next few pages display a number of tables that present the aggregated data on population, enrolment and graduation at Faculty level. 8 PHD SCHOOL · ANNUAL REPORT 2014 FA C U LT Y O F S C I E N C E 9 TABLE 3: BASIC STATISTICS OF THE PHD STUDENTS ENROLLED IN 2013 AND 2014 Population Table 2 shows basic statistical information on the population.

It also appears that 42 percent of the population is of Danish nationality, 28 percent from other EU countries whereas the remaining 30 percent are of a non-EU nationality. A typical PhD student at SCIENCE is 28 years old when commencing the PhD programme and is enrolled on the 5+3 PhD scheme. Finally, it is displayed that 47 percent is recruited from University of Copenhagen, another 6 percent from other Danish universities and the last 47 percent enter the PhD programme at SCIENCE with an MSc degree achieved from outside Denmark. ) The PhD student is enrolled on the 4+4 scheme (one year before graduation as an MSc candidate) ) The double degree PhD students have a foreign university as host institution ** Table 2 shows that the size of the population has been rather constant the past two years. The gender balance is close to being 50/50 and 48 percent of the population is of Danish nationality, 23 percent from other European countries, whereas the remaining 27 percent are of a non-European nationality. Finally, it appears that 50 percent of the population is recruited from University of Copenhagen, another 8 percent from other Danish universities and the remaining 42 percent enter the PhD programme at SCIENCE with an MSc degree achieved from outside of Denmark.

For details on the distribution of the PhD students at department level, please see enclosure 5. Industrial PhD Students (also fully externally funded 9 (3 %) 5 (2 %) Table 4 shows that the co-funding scheme is the most typical way of funding PhD programmes at SCIENCE. 27 percent of the PhD projects are fully financed by an external funding body, whereas 21 percent are fully funded by the University. The share of scholarships funded by the Industrial PhD scheme is 2 percent. 10 PHD SCHOOL · ANNUAL REPORT 2014 FA C U LT Y O F S C I E N C E 11 Graduation Danish students in 2014 was only 42 percent. Please read the section on internationalization to learn more about the background of this development. Table 5 shows the number of PhD graduates in 2013 and 2014 (the period from 1 January – 31 December). In enclosure 5, you will find information on the distribution of the graduates at the twelve departments at SCIENCE. In enclosure 5, you will also find information on the individual PhD graduate. Educational Background The proportion of PhD students with an MSc degree from the University of Copenhagen seems to be declining – 52 percent of the current population (table 2) holds an MSc degree from UCPH which only seems to be the case for the 47 percent of PhD students enrolled in 2014 (table 3). This might be a logical result of the increase of PhD students with a non-Danish nationality. However, the MSc programmes at SCIENCE are known to attract quite a few international students and some of them continue their education by being enrolled on the PhD programme at SCIENCE. Of the 157 PhD students enrolled in 2014 holding an MSc degree from UCPH, 37 are foreigners. TABLE 5: PHD DEGREES AWARDED IN 2013 AND 2014 (1 JANUARY – 31 DECEMBER) 2013 2014 Number 262 282 Gender F: 115 (44 %) M: 148 (56 %) F: 131 (46 %) M: 151 (54 %) Nationality DK: 164 (63 %) Europe: 42 (16 %) Other: 57 (21 %) DK: 158 (56 %) Europe: 69 (24 %) Other: 55 (20 %) Funding The funding for PhD projects comes from the university and external funding bodies, primarily Danish research councils, the European Union, other foreign universities and private trust funds and companies. Most PhD projects are co-funded and the number of fully university funded projects is rather low. This trend is expected to continue in the years to come. In 2013, 45 percent of the PhD projects were co-funded whereas the percentage in 2014 increased to 50. Trends and Observations The Future A comparison of the statistics demonstrates that almost all PhD students are enrolled in the 5+3 scheme and that the age of enrolment is close to being constant with an average of 28 years. However, it also appears that 8 percent of the students enrolled in 2013 entered on a double degree scheme and in 2014 the amount increased to 10 percent. The enrolment on the integrated 4+4 scheme is quite modest, but it is expected to increase in 2015 when the flexible 3+5 scheme is implemented. In 2015, the PhD School will focus on implementing the flexible integrated MSc and PhD scheme. The student must be accepted as an MSc student at SCIENCE. The flexible scheme can begin in the time span from the first day of the MSc programme and until the student starts writing the MSc thesis i.e. begins the thesis contract. The aim is to attract especially talented students at an early stage of their career. Gender Balance Attention will also be paid to the quality and content of PhD supervision with respect to describing the role of the supervisor in relation to the expectations of the PhD student. The tables reveal that the gender balance during the past many years has approximated 50/50 but now it appears that the balance may be changing again. If you look at the gender distribution among the graduates in 2013, it shows that 56 percent of the graduates were males. In 2014, the male proportion declined to 54 percent. In 2013, 50 percent of the new students were males, whereas the percentage of males enrolled in 2014 were 58. This finding is not easily explained. Maybe it is a result of coincidence? The gender balance of Europeans is close to equality and among students recruited from countries outside Europe, 45 percent are women and 55 percent are males. The distribution between new enrolled Danes is even more unbalanced – only 38 percent are females. Identifying career paths of PhD graduates is given very high priority in 2015. This is an important issue as almost 80 percent of PhD graduates will find their future job outside academia. Based on statistical and qualitative information collected by the University of Copenhagen, the PhD School will monitor the current job situation for our graduates. More importantly, the PhD School will facilitate and help the individual PhD student in designing a personal development plan in which the student reflects over his/her preferences, abilities, skills and possibilities with respect to the future career. The ambition is for the student to realize the broad variety of competences they hold as graduates from a PhD programme at SCIENCE. Both the competences taught directly throughout the programme and the competences picked up along the way, e.g. generic competences like project management and technical skills. Nationality Years ago, almost all PhD students enrolled at UCPH were Danes. As time went on, the PhD programme attracted more and more international students and today it is broadly recognized that knowledge and research is a global affair. The trend is uncovered in the statistics. If you take a look at the graduates from 2013 and 2014, you will see that the proportion of Danes has declined from 63 percent to 54 percent. From table 3, that reflects the annual enrolments, you can see that the trend continues. In 2013, 48 percent of the new students were Danes whereas the percentage of new 12 Finally, the PhD School will upgrade the website of the school, implement an on-line PhD course administration system that will make the administration of PhD courses smoother and convert the many forms into a web-based interface.
