Overview

International PhD students may apply for several types of financial support throughout their studies. These opportunities generally fall into three main categories:

  • Research grant: the funding supports thesis-related research projects, fieldwork, and academic development.
  • Travel grant: the funding assists students in presenting their work at international conferences and covers travel expenses.
  • Publication award: the funding rewards high-quality journal publications and encourages active scholarly engagement and impactful output.
