Welcome to your PhD Association


University of Copenhagen Association of PhD Students (UCAPS) represents all PhDs across all faculties.

Since UCAPS was established in March 2018, we’ve been working towards:

1. Uniting and supporting PhDs during their degree
2. Creating a common and independent voice for PhDs
3. Providing a platform for discussing PhD-related topics, issues and policies
4. Promoting a healthy PhD-life balance
5. Organising faculty-wide social and professional events

The UCAPS team currently consists of Danish and International PhD students from different faculties. Together we aim to get all the faculties involved in all the decision-making and plan events that cater to all PhDs regardless of their field of study.

We are an independent association, but we work closely with Copenhagen University officials to raise any issues we find important to discuss, and make sure our voice is heard. We also have representatives in the national PhD Association of Denmark (PAND), and work together with other PhD Associations in Denmark.

We are always looking for new PhDs to join us, so please contact us at ucaps@ku.dk if you want to get involved. Feel free to share your ideas and suggestions with us and help shape the future of UCAPS!
