Document background
The Letter of Intent for Doctoral Program is a crucial preliminary document in the Danish academic system, serving as a formal expression of interest and commitment between a prospective PhD candidate and a Danish university or research institution. This document is typically used during the initial stages of PhD application and admission process, providing a framework for the candidate's research intentions and demonstrating their readiness to undertake doctoral studies. The letter must align with requirements set forth in the Danish University Act and PhD Order, while clearly articulating the proposed research area, methodology, and potential impact. It's particularly important in cases where pre-admission communication is necessary, such as when securing funding or establishing preliminary agreements with supervisors. The document helps institutions assess the candidate's suitability and aids in resource allocation planning.
