Questions students ask
Are these PhD positions fully funded?
Every record here is a funded call: a stipend, a fellowship or a funded programme as stated by the funder. Read the official page for the exact package; the link on each record goes straight to the funder, never to an aggregator.
How often is this page updated?
New calls are added through the week, and every record carries the date it was last verified on the funding organisation's own website. Records whose deadlines pass are closed automatically, so anything listed here was open at its last check.
Can I get deadline reminders?
Yes. The alerts box on this page sends a reminder before a deadline you choose, plus a short weekly note of new calls in your area. It is free.
