Statistik — Salaries ranged between DKK 121,919 (EUR 16,347 ) and DKK 19,972 (EUR 2,678) a month at the University of Copenhagen in 2023. Here is the full list of job functions and their aggregated pay.
[There is an updated article with 2024 salary numbers here.]
Salary negotiations are opened once a year for all faculties and for the central administration of the University of Copenhagen. Managers and staff representatives meet up and allocate supplementary pay for qualification and function as well as retention supplements and one-off payments for employees.
The University of Copenhagen (UCPH) has a declared transparent salary policy, and so we can here offer a comprehensive overview of the average monthly salary of all staff groups including pension payments.
You can compare these salary numbers with numbers from 2022 here.
Categories which have less than three employees have not been included, so the list is not exhaustive. This means that the Rector of the University of Copenhagen and the other members of the management team do not have their salaries on the list.
