Funding

What the funding actually covers

Doctoral packages take three forms: a tax-free stipend with fees paid, an employment contract with a salary and social insurance, or a fee waiver only. The employment model is standard in much of continental Europe and materially changes your tax, pension and visa position.

Eligibility

Eligibility patterns to check first

  • Supervisor agreement is a prerequisite for the majority of funded doctoral routes.
  • Project-linked studentships restrict the research topic, sometimes narrowly.
  • Nomination-based national awards have internal university deadlines months before the public one.
  • A research master's or first-class honours degree is commonly required.
  • Funding duration is usually three to four years and does not always match the programme length.
Deadlines

How the deadlines work

Project-linked positions are advertised continuously with individual closing dates. Competition-based studentships cluster from November to February. Nomination-based awards require you to work backwards from an internal deadline that is rarely advertised publicly.

Applying

Application advice for this search

  1. Contact potential supervisors months before the deadline with a specific research overlap.

  2. Match your proposal to the funder's format, which is often stricter than the university's.

  3. Confirm the funding duration against the expected programme length and plan for the gap.

  4. Ask whether the position is a stipend or an employment contract before accepting.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a supervisor before applying for PhD funding?

In most systems, yes. Project-linked positions in Europe and Australia are selected by the research group, and nomination-based awards in Canada and the UK require institutional backing that only a supervisor can initiate.

Is a funded PhD position a job?

In several countries it is. Germany, the Netherlands and the Nordic countries commonly employ doctoral candidates on salaried contracts with pension and social insurance rather than paying a tax-free stipend.

Can I do a PhD without funding?

You can, but in systems where doctoral study is normally funded, being unfunded can signal a weak application and leaves you without the departmental support that funded candidates receive. Consider whether the destination charges domestic doctoral fees first.
