Almost 70% of them end up landing jobs in Denmark, according to a new analysis by Copenhagen think tank DEA.<\/p>\n<p>Jobwise, the international PhDs end up on an equal, or better, footing than their Danish counterparts if they choose to remain in Denmark. <\/p>\n<p>In 1995, 110 PhDs were enrolled in Denmark, compared to 727 in 2012, making up a third of the total PhD student population.  Between 1996-2011, 1,400 international PhD graduates were still in Denmark one year after graduating.  <\/p>\n<h2>International PhDs a brain gain<\/h2>\n<p>The good employment prospects for international PhDs is the most important part of the study, as they represent a brain gain for Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>From a Danish perspective, it is not just about retaining good PhDs, says head of research at DEA Martin Junge. It is about maintaining a pool of relevant candidates for Danish jobs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Research is so specialised nowadays, that you can&#8217;t just educate the Danes to fill the spots that are there. In other words, you need instead to build up a capacity. And the better the pool of candidates in this capacity, the better the outcome,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Denmark is too small to have a basic capacity on its own, and attracting and retaining PhDs is just as important as attracting assistant professors and professors,&#8221; Martin Junge says.<\/p>\n<h2>Internationals match the Danish salaries<\/h2>\n<p>The top five home countries of international PhD graduates in Denmark are China, Germany, Italy, Poland and Iran.  <\/p>\n<p>PhDs are \u201cincreasingly expected to find work in the private sector\u201d says Stina Vrang Elias, Administration Director at DEA. <\/p>\n<p>A third of PhDs find work in the private sector, with international PhDs generally matching the salaries of their Danish counterparts. <\/p>\n<h2>More into research<\/h2>\n<p>However, international Phds are more likely than their Danish counterparts to end up working in research rather than the private sector.  <\/p>\n<p>Read the analysis (in Danish) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dea.nu\/sites\/dea.nu\/files\/arbejdsmarkedet_efter_endt_uddannelse_for_phder_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>See also the University Post  <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/phd-survey-2014\" target=\"_blank\">PhD Survey 2014<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>universitypost@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Like us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UniversityPost\" target=\"_blank\"> Facebook <\/a> for features, guides and tips on upcoming events.
