Salaries at the University of Copenhagen (2017)

Statistics — Somewhere between DKK 149,567 and DKK 26,180 a month. See what the different employee groups at the University of Copenhagen earned on average in 2017.

PLEASE NOTE: The data below is from 2017. Updated 2020 University of Copenhagen salary data can be found here.

Once a year, salary negotiations open up for all staff at the faculties and the central administration of the University of Copenhagen (UCPH).

Here managers, staff that bargain their own salary, and staff representatives, gather around the table and allocate the different categories of salary allowances – like qualification, function or staff retention – to staff.

The University has a wage transparency policy, and here we provide a comprehensive overview of the total average monthly wage to all employee groups including pensions.

The number of employees in each position is expressed in full-time equivalents (FTE).

Categories of employees with fewer than three full-time equivalents are not included, so the list is not exhaustive. However, the rector’s and other management members’ salary are included, as we have obtained the numbers directly from UCPH.
