What is this scholarship? 🎓 The University of Edinburgh offers University funded Edinburgh Doctoral College Scholarships for PhD study, including projects in Physics and Astronomy. These awards normally cover tuition fees plus a stipend aligned with the UKRI minimum rate, and School guidance mentions an additional training grant.
Why does the date matter? ⏰ For Astronomy, Edinburgh has one main open call per year. The Institute for Astronomy states that PhD applications for this round must be received by 5 January 2026. To be fully considered for regular funded places and University level awards like the Doctoral College Scholarships, you should treat this as your hard internal deadline. Late applications risk missing key funding options.
Who is this for? 🔭 This call is for strong PhD applicants in Astronomy (and related Physics areas) who want to join Edinburgh’s research groups on funded positions. Competitive candidates will usually have an excellent academic record, strong references and a clear research direction that fits the Institute’s themes.
How to apply & where to read more 🧾 You apply for the PhD programme via Edinburgh’s system following the Institute for Astronomy guidance, making sure your application is complete before 5 January 2026.

What changed? 📄 The UK Home Office has updated the official Register of licensed sponsors: students. This is the public list of universities, colleges and schools that are allowed to sponsor international students under the Student and Child Student routes. The register is published as a downloadable CSV and shows the sponsor name, location, sponsor type, route and whether the institution has a “track record” status.
Why it matters 🎓 Your Student visa depends on getting a CAS from a valid sponsor. If a university or college is removed from the register or its licence is restricted, it can affect CAS issuance, create delays or increase risk for your visa plan. That is why checking the latest version of the register is a basic due diligence step before you pay deposits, accept an offer or rely on a CAS timeline.
How to check ✅ Always download or preview the newest CSV on GOV.UK and search for your institution’s exact name. Confirm that it appears as a licensed sponsor for the Student route and note whether it has “track record” status. If anything looks different from what the university told you, contact them and ask for clarification before making financial commitments.
What is ISTA? 🧬 ISTA (Institute of Science and Technology Austria) is a research institute near Vienna with a fully funded international PhD programme. Each year it recruits a new PhD cohort through a central application portal and matches admitted students with research groups across multiple disciplines.
Why it matters 💰 PhD students receive five-year employment contracts with full financial support, plus funding for conferences, workshops and other research activities. This makes ISTA a strong option for non-EU applicants who want a research career in Europe without worrying about separate “scholarship” applications.
Fields & who it is for 🔬 The current call is open across more than ten disciplines (including areas like mathematics, computer science, physics, biology and related fields, depending on the year’s offer). It targets highly motivated students with a strong academic background who are ready to start a research-intensive PhD and work closely with faculty in one of the institute’s groups.
Deadlines & application ⏰ You apply directly via ISTA’s portal; there is no separate university system. Hard applicant deadline: 08 January 2026, 15:00 CET. Recommenders’ deadline: 11 January 2026, 23:59 CET (if letters are late, your file is incomplete). Carefully follow the PhD Application & Admission page for required documents and the selection process.

What is it? 🎓 The Maryam Mirzakhani PhD Scholarships support female students of any nationality who will study the Mathematics and Applications Master’s (M1 or M2) at Université Paris-Saclay or Institut Polytechnique de Paris and then continue to a PhD in the Hadamard Doctoral School in Mathematics (EDMH).

What is Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters? 🎓 Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters are integrated international master’s degrees run by a consortium of universities in at least two countries. You normally study in at least two different locations, often changing country between semesters, and follow one joint, high level curriculum that leads to a single degree or multiple national degrees.
What does the scholarship cover? 💰 Many Erasmus Mundus programmes offer full scholarships for top ranked applicants. These scholarships are managed directly by each programme consortium and typically include a tuition waiver plus a monthly contribution toward living costs, as well as help with travel and set up costs, depending on the programme rules and your country category.
Who is it for? 🌎 Erasmus Mundus is open to students from all over the world. It is ideal if you want a strong academic master’s, are comfortable moving between countries, and want an international profile for future PhD or industry careers. Each programme sets its own academic background, language and experience requirements, so you must check the specific course page carefully.
How to apply? 🧾 You do not apply to a central EU portal. Instead, you choose one or more Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters from the official catalogue and apply directly through the programme’s own website. Each consortium has its own application form, document checklist and scholarship section. There is no single EU wide deadline; every programme sets its own scholarship and self funded deadlines.
Deadlines and planning ⏰ The European Commission’s guidance is simple: search the Erasmus Mundus course catalogue, open the page of your chosen programme and follow its instructions and deadlines exactly. Many EMJM programmes close their scholarship rounds between December and February for a September intake, so you should shortlist programmes early, prepare documents and track each deadline in detail.
DSU in Italy is not a “profile contest” but a public welfare system that protects your right to study, which makes it one of the most accessible funding paths for international students. Instead of judging your CV or research background, DSU mainly looks at your economic situation through ISEE/ISEEU. If you qualify, you can receive a package that may include tuition waiver, monthly scholarship, subsidised meals, and student housing or rent contribution. Because benefits depend on passing a minimum number of credits each year and are renewed through clear annual calls with fixed rules and deadlines, DSU also pushes you to stay on track and finish your degree on time.
