Scholarship application
Q. Can I apply if I am on a study leave?
- Yes, if you are on an approved leave of studies.
Q. Can I postpone my scholarship until next year?
- Unfortunately not, you will have to reapply next year.
Q. How do you prioritize the applicants?
- Some important factors are:
- Previous research experience (e.g. extra curriculum courses – relating to research)
- How well you motivate why you should receive a summer scholarship. If you do not have any previous research experience, this is extra important.

About the project
Q. Can I write a literature study as a summer research project instead of a clinical research project?
- Yes, literature review (scoping, systematic) is ok.
Q. Can I write/do the project together with another student?
- It is ok to work together within the same project BUT the project plans have to be different. The method can be the same but if you wish to work together on something, a suggestion is to divide the research questions between the two of you.
Q. Can I extend the project and present at a later time?
- The courses end at the end of August which means you have to present/do the examination in August, even if the results are preliminary.
Q. Can a PhD-student supervise me?
- As a co-supervisor. You need a supervisor with a PhD.
