• UCPH guidelines for PhD defenses (pdf)
• Guidance on appeals by PhD students at the University of Copenhagen (pdf)
• Procedure relating to overlap with pre-existing text in PhD theses (pdf)

UCPH’s common regulations and guidelines set out the common minimum standards for PhD studies at the University.
