The Department of Strategic Management at the Copenhagen Business School employs fourteen full-time faculty members, as well as a range of part-time faculty and PhD students. The department focuses on strategic and international management in both research and teaching, allowing students and teachers to equally study topics such as the creation and implementation of global strategies, social networks, or strategic entrepreneurship.

With a goal of continuing to be among the leading departments in strategic and international management in Europe, the university offers a PhD scholarship in Strategic Management. This scholarship is designed for any student pursuing a project in the field of strategic management, such as contracting, human capital, network strategy, or data-driven business models and growth.

Applications are welcomed from any field of strategic management. Applications will be reviewed and rated based on the quality of their proposed projects, as well as their overall quality as candidates. Project proposals must reside in the field of strategic management in order to be eligible.

Scholarships last for three years, and include a fully salaried position comprehensive of tuition fees, travel grants, a salary, and office space. Salaries start at DKK 23,770 (or 3,160 euro) up to DKK 28,964 (3,860 euro). Salaries and appointments are dependent on experience and project quality and extent, and are determined by the Ministry of Finance’s agreement with the Central Academic Organization.

The PhD candidate who is the recipient of this award will be enrolled at the PhD school in Economics and Management. The program is highly international and recipients are expected to participate in all international research conferences. The successful candidate will have basic training at the Maser’s level and have received a minimum grade point average of at least 8.2 on the Danish scale. Applicants must also be fluent in English.

To apply, interested candidates should submit a five-page project description, proposing the scope and extent of the research the candidate intends to perform if selected. Copies of Master’s degree certificates, a curriculum vitae, a list of papers and publications, and one copy of a selected written work must also be supplied. Finally, all interested candidates must include documentation of proficiency in the English language, demonstrated through examinations such as the TOEFL, GMAT, or GRE.

All applications must be submitted by May 1, 2018. Successful candidates will be notified if and when they need to submit additional documentation.

Each year, the Ministry of Higher Education and Science offers an exclusive set of scholarships to attend Danish summer language courses. These courses are designed for any level of student, including those seeking bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees. Applicants must be enrolled at accredited higher education institutions. Upon application, each applicant will be divided into one of two country groups.

Students must be from one of the following countries in order to apply. In addition, certain programs are excluded from eligibility, depending on major of study and location. Accepted countries include: Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovak Republic, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, The Netherlands, Turkey, United Kingdom, Canada, China, Russia, and the United States.

These courses provide three hours of Danish language instruction a day, along with excursions and cultural activities to acquaint students with Danish culture. The programs each last three weeks and are offered in July and August every year. Different regions of Denmark are selected as varying sites for coursework.

In 2018, 206 scholarships are available. These awards fund full tuition and room and board. Students may choose from provided housing or a stipend of 5,000 DKK to finance room and board. Most courses required that students pay for meals themselves, but some locations provide this instead. All students must pay full travel and personal expenses.

Applicants must not be enrolled as full-time students in Denmark, nor may they be exchange students at any Danish higher education institution.

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program awards several grants to United States students and young professionals to study and/or conduct academic research at universities within EU Member States. Topics of study must include EU policies, EU institutes and the American-European Union agenda. Grants are available for students with Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctoral degrees.

Four total awards are available, for a grant period of six to nine months. The grant will last from September through June, with specific start dates negotiated directly with host institutions. Applicants may propose an area of research or study in one to three different countries. If a student is interested in studying in multiple countries, at least three months must be required in each European Union member state. The orientation date for the program will be supplied either by the Fulbright Commission or by the United States Embassy in the country of research.

To apply, students should submit a project proposal that focuses on the observation of comparative perspectives of issues of concern. These issues should be ones that involve both the United State and the European Union, such as:

• internal and external security
• peace-keeping
• the EU and NATO
• justice and home affairs
• finance
• trade
• human rights
• agricultural and environmental policies
• energy
• asylum
• human trafficking
• development
• EU enlargement

Other topics may also be accepted. Proposals should relate to EU competencies and not simply Europe or countries within Europe. There should be a holistic value to the project. Successful applicants will exhibit personal, academic, and creative excellence, along with a strong research rationale and plan. They will be strong leaders and clearly indicate how their studies will benefit American-European Union relationships during and after their grant periods.

Applicants should be proficient in the language of their chosen country, though this is not a mandatory component of the application process. TO apply and for more information, students should visit http://www.fulbrightschuman.eu.
