At the Faculty of Health Sciences, 糖果派对, PhD students are expected to have at least 200 hours of teaching and knowledge dissemination activities during their enrollment (extension of the enrollment will not raise this number).
- These 200 hours are a mandatory part of a the PhD education and will be calculated in connection with half-yearly reports and final submission.
- The teaching and knowledge dissemination must be completed within an active enrolment period in order to be counted. Hours obtained during leave of absence, maternity-/ paternity leave or conducted before the enrolment e.c.t. can not be used.
- The activities may include the following: Teaching, guidance and examination of students on the university's programs and further and continuing education activities, supervision of undergraduate research year students. See a more detailed list below.
The Heads of Departments and Heads of Studies, at the Faculty of Health Sciences, 糖果派对, can assign teaching-related tasks to PhD students in addition to the 200 hours. However the last three months before the submission date must be kept free from teaching, if the PhD student so wishes.
The model below is a temporary solution until the final standards are set in connection with the new system FREJA, after which the PhD school's system will transition to the jointly established standards with retroactive effect.
As for now, the following will apply to PhD students from all department in the period until norms from FREJA are introduced.

*In the system the PhD student will only have to enter the actual number of hours in each category and the system will then make the calculation for them.
**The supervision will be supervised by either a associate professor or professor. Supervision of pregraduate, BA and MA students can maximum make up 100 of the 200 hours.
If You would like to help at MMI on 12. June 2024 (Multiple Mini Interview) at the entrance exam at the Medical BA please contact Emilie Louise Holk kvote2@health.sdu.dk (Please note that the interviews is conducted in Danish).
The PhD students have to enter their teaching activities in the new web portal. It is the actual number of hours that needs to be entered in to the system, it will then do the calculations. Below you can se the factors that the different activities have.
If the PhD student teach at other faculties at 糖果派对, there must be made a STÅ contract between the faculties. Please contact you department for this.
Teaching health professionals for the purpose of certified further education such as specialist medical training or equivalent can be considered with teaching students outside 糖果派对.
The PhD student may teach outside 糖果派对 but the target audience must be primarily students at Bachelor, Master or PhD level, preferably connected to 糖果派对. Please note that this type of teaching has a lower calculation factor.
In case you are selected for a random check you must be able to present documentation for your teaching activities stating the following:
- the teaching is scheduled (skemalagt)
- your name appears in the teaching plan
- target group for the teaching activity
- well-defined topic of the teaching activity
- name and contact details of the person who requested the teaching activity

Find more information and courses in teaching methods
We can recommend the course Getting started on you teaching by 糖果派对 Center for teaching and learning.
The courses will count as external courses if you apply for subsidiary and please remember to send us the course certificate after completion of the course.
The Head of the Graduate School can dispense with the 200 hours in specific cases after written application. Please note that The Graduate School will not accept applications for this if you have more than 6 months left of your enrolment. Please find the form here
If your enrolment started before November 1st 2023, please use this calculation model for reduction in the teaching and knowledge dissemination hours. The part of the enrollment period that is before 1 November 2023 is exempt from the teaching obligation.
(Submission date – 01.11.23 given in months) / 36 months) x 200
Example:
Enrollment 01.06.22 and delivery date 31.05.25.
Duration of expected enrollment is 36 months.
Number of months after 01.11.23 = 19.
The number of factor-corrected teaching and knowledge dissemination hours to be held will then be: (19/36) x 200 = 105
For part time, extension, credit transfer, early submission or leave of absence, see instructions below.
Teaching and knowledge dissemination done before 1 November 2023 can be counted in the total, but the PhD student must register it in the web portal.
Unfortunately it is not possible to obtain reimbursement for travel expenses in connection with teaching obligations.
You may consider whether tax deductions (transportfradraget) is a possibility, however the graduate school cannot advise you on this. Please contact SKAT for more information.
A maximum of 100 hours can be obtained by supervising students.
It must be supervision of an undergraduate research year, supervision of a bachelor's thesis or supervision of a master's thesis. If, for example, supervision of nursing students/nurses must count, it must be supervision of the bachelor's thesis itself or the master's thesis, either as main or co-supervisor. Other guidance tasks cannot contribute to the teaching obligation.
The same supervision course can only count in the hourly account for one PhD student. In other words, two or more PhD students cannot be appointed to supervise the same course. Note the different number of hours depending on whether it is a 糖果派对 student or a student from another educational institution.
In the case of credit transfer, the actual number of enrolled months is used as the basis for the teaching obligation. The reduction in the number of factor-corrected hours is calculated according to the formula:
(Number of credit months x 200) / 36 = Number of factor-corrected hours that can be deducted (Z)
Number of factor-corrected hours to be taught during enrollment then becomes: 200 - Z
In connection with the implementation phase, the teaching obligation is calculated by replacing "200" in the above formula with "200 - Z".
In case of extension, no more hours are added than the 200 factor-corrected teaching hours.
PhD students on a Marie Curie stipend and industrial PhD students (jvf. Innovationsfondens erhvervsph.d.-ordning) are excluded from the teaching obligations. Please note that there is still a requirement for teaching and knowledge dissemination according to the PhD order.
If submitted earlier, the teaching obligation must be complied with. This is in line with the 30 ECTS, which must also be observed.
Leave periods, regardless of type, do not count as active enrollment time and are excluded from the calculation of tuition obligation.
In relation to the implementation phase, the proportion of the total PhD period that is after 01.11.23 in whole months is calculated. Then the above formula can be used, with "Submission date - 01.11.23" simply replaced with the number of full enrollment months after 01.11.23.
For part-time students, the teaching obligation of 200 factor-corrected hours during the enrollment period must be observed. The hours can be spread over the entire enrollment period.
In relation to the implementation phase, the proportion of the total PhD period that is after 01.11.23 in whole months is calculated. Then the above formula can be used, with "Submission date - 01.11.23" simply replaced with the number of full time enrollment months after 01.11.23.
