Once a year salary negotiations are opened up for all faculties and for the central administration at 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 2023 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 top members of the management team do not have their salaries on the list.
