The invention of modern doctoral programs took place on the continent of Europe.
European countries are not just popular for their culture and vivid scenic landscapes, but they also have many top ranking universities around the world which accept millions of PhD applicants every year. The United Kingdoms, Germany, France, Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland, Italy, and Hungary are few of the most sought after locations for PhD studies in Europe.
European Universities have given many modern day scientists, scholars, artists, and writers. The reason behind this is that European countries as well as universities provide generous funding options as well as great diversity in research courses. Also, the universal acknowledgement for the European degrees make it desirable for many international students to enrol in European Universities for doctoral programs.
The EHEA (European Higher Education Area) consists of 49 countries including the UK, European and Eurasian countries. All these countries follow a three-cycle academic degrees process (first cycle is bachelor's degree which takes three years, second cycle is master’s degree which takes two years, and the third cycle is PhD degree which takes three to four years) which is accepted around the EU countries and provides international recognition too. The students who are native to any of these 49 countries can get enrollment based on the ECTS points they receive during their bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
For international students, below are a few things you should make sure of before applying for a Phd program in Europe.
There are a few ways in which you can have a better chance of getting your PhD application accepted in a European University and that is:
If you know the native language of the country where your target university is, you can take a language test and a good score can improve your chances of getting the study visa as well as the resident permit in that country. For example if you are interested in a Germany based University, knowing the German language can benefit you.
When you apply for a European PhD course, you get a chance to work together with the university professor on their on-going research. Those research works are mainly culture based and thus,having a native research supervisor can help you have a better understanding of the research in order to develop the proposal.
Getting a scholarship is another most common and highly beneficial method of getting enrolled and accepted in a European University. Many universities encourage research programs for both native european as well as international students. The PhD candidates are treated as young researchers and so, exceptional performing students for the scholarship can get faster recognition in the application processing.
