PhD Applications & Scholarship Opportunities Abroad

Overview

Pursuing a PhD abroad is a transformative journey that combines advanced academic training with global exposure. However, the application process can be complex and highly competitive, especially for students from the Global South. Understanding how to craft a compelling application, identify the right programs, and secure funding is crucial for success.

This webinar—“PhD Applications and Scholarship Opportunities Abroad”—aims to demystify the path to doctoral studies across leading global institutions. It will provide practical insights into choosing a research topic, preparing a strong proposal, approaching supervisors, and finding fully funded scholarships in economics, development studies, and related disciplines.
