PhD Fellowships

Category A fellowships can be awarded to doctoral candidates from all countries other than the 27 EU member states, the EEA-EFTA states.

Furthermore, the doctoral candidate must not be resident nor have carried out her/his main activity (studies, work, etc.) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in one of these countries.

The only exception to this rule applies to third-country candidates who have previously received an Erasmus Mundus masters scholarship.

Category A fellowships include €7500 for travel. Each fellowship is made up of two additional components: operational funds and salary/stipend.

Operational funding ranges from €10,800 to €21,600 depending on type of study, while salary (doctoral candidate employed) is €100,800, and stipends (doctoral candidate legally treated as a student) is €50,400.
